<![CDATA[Ballet in NAFA vs SBA]]>Hi


I’m planning to send my 4years old dd for ballet class. NAFA or SBA was in my mind. Any parents here send their dd to either of the school? could you share with me your experiences ? Which school is more fun and has better exposure?

Hi, in fact NAFA has started implementing the RAD exam for Ballet this year for Grade 1, Grade 3 and Grade 5. The test is optional but they encourage the stundents to sit for the test.

Hope the above information useful.

Hi,


Is it true NAFA Ballet does not need to take exams? AS compared to SBA, which is better?

SBA is well-established and is the oldest ballet school in Singapore. The students there take RAD exams.

NAFA runs its own ballet programme and the students do not take RAD nor CSTD exams.

RAD exams are the most recognized internationally.

I use to play for them as an accompanist before I moved.

It’s too stressful… I think the system and style of teaching is like that… More gearing and drilling at NAFA… nothing against the school but I think the teaching style is more like that of China.

I’m not sure of SBA, but nafa ballet does not require their student to take any exam. They only issue certificate of participation. But from what I know, their standard is quite good and infact the students learn more because they do not just learn the requirement rountine for taking the exam. They have performance every other year and the rehersal is pretty intentive if you allow your child to participate. They are having the concert for this year and the rehersal is almost everyday during sch holiday.
