Can anyone confirm if the cca chinese dance instructor, the person who will be teaching the students in DHS, is a male? My friend called the school. The school staff who answered her call, thinks the cca chinese dance instructor is a male. I still don't believe it. After all the staff said she THINKS is a male.

During dance audition at DHS yesterday, there were a pregnant lady and a man sitting there to grade the shortlisted dancers according to her.

Hi i can confirm the instructor is a male as my son's classmate is in the Chinese dance and has checked with her.

Thanks Lieu! My friend knew the answer later on that same day. Now the ball is on her IF her daughter get CO/WL from the school.

From my colleague/friend (She's not v tech-savvy): Is there any other feedbacks you heard about the Chinese dance male instructor? Like how does he correct the moves of the females students? Is there another female instructor always around during dance practice? How many years has he been teaching in DHS? How many times a week does a student need to go for Chinese dance cca? Any comments about the male dance instructor is much appreciated. Good or bad feedbacks are welcomed.

think the male dance instructor will be careful with Secondary school girls too. He won't want to be accused of molesting girls, during dance. eg. touch shoulder to adjust dance posture ok, but not touch any other part of the girls' body

also, take note whether the male instructor is alone with the girls inside the dance theatre (hall), or is he accompanied by another lady instructor, around ?

eg
maybe the guy verbally only tell the girls what or which part of the dance step mistake they made, while the lady instructor go around the class, adjust the girls' thigh / leg or body's dance posture to correct them, or maybe your leg should stretch this way or that way, because the guy not supposed to (allowed to) touch the girls' body. Considered \"molest\", esp. the lower thigh part, or the upper breast part ... our girls in puberty stage

Hey phtthp,

That could be a possibility! After all there was a pregnant lady during the dance audition. I will ask my friend to check on this too. Then she will not need to reject IF her dd receives CO later and is still very conscious about having a male instructor. Thanks!

Does it really matter?

At first I thought the same too. But my friend thinks that her daughter may not be comfortable when male instructor may have to touch the girls when correcting dance technique and posture. Girls during secondary years are more self-conscious. She's concerned. That's y I thought maybe it will be faster to get answers from the forum.

Firstly, the instructor is selected by virtue of his / her experience and qualification. If the instructor is a professional (which I have no doubt that he / she is), he / she will know what to do. Besides, an instructor is a contractor - could be here this year, gone the next. No guarantee that the instructor will stay the same for the next 4 / 6 years and will be of the same gender.

Lastly, I am not sure which is of a greater concern: a dance instructor who is a male, but broken wrist, or a dance instructor who is a female, but lesbian :evil:[/quote]Lol, I really don't know how to answer your qs. For me, I just want to know if it is really a male instructor or not then convey my findings to her. See whichever way is faster. So far, replies in KSP are very fast which always amaze me. Don't you all need to work? (JK) Anyway the staff asked her to call later in the afternoon to get a confirmation answer with the teacher in charge. I share the same sentiment with floppy and phtthp and have already let my friend know what I think. Still, ultimately the decision is on her and her daughter. If her girl is naturally shy and feels uncomfortable, this may cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. After all she knows her own dd best.

Then what about WL? Or is it only for COs then we can submit online? Is MOE online system the same place where we submitted DSA choices? Eg. Choice 1 = WL, Choice 2 = CO and Choice 3 = CO. Do we just submit our school preferences for Choice 2 and 3 only even though we are willing to wait for Choice 1 to change from WL to CO? Or wait for psle results if Choice 1 is WL?

Hi patlsy79,

After PSLE but before PSLE result release.

Selected students will receive offers from the schools directly by Friday, 30 August 2019. They should then submit their school preferences from 9am on Monday, 21 October 2019 to 3pm on Friday, 25 October 2019 through the MOE online system.

All the best to your child!

Hi TampinesMum,

Yes, it is the same. The school preference exercise is where you indicate CO/ WL from your DSA. Note that a person can opt not to choose a particular CO or WL. So you have to indicate your WL (if it is your choice school).

For WL, you will know the outcome together with PSLE results (released at the end of November). In your example, you will know whether it's Choice 1 (i.e., your WL school) or if it is not successful, it will be your Choice 2. Choice 3 is irrelevant as your Choice 2 is a CO.

All the best to your child![/quote]

Hi coast,


When we receive the results, we may have mixed CO and/WL. So in order to submit online, do we submit only the COs choices or both CO and WL choices?

Eg. Choice 1 = WL, Choice 2 = CO and Choice 3 = CO. Do we just submit our school preferences for Choice 2 and 3 only while in the meantime we are willing to wait for Choice 1 to change from WL to CO? Or we can submit all three choices even though Choice 1 is WL?

Is MOE online system the same place where we submitted DSA choices?

Anyone’s dd went for NYGH dance audition on 2 July? What’s it like? What’s the format other than the 1-min solo? Any informal interview? Pls share more.. Thanks

I have a qs. There were 2 dance audition dates in NYGH on 2 July and 9 July. Was the audition on 2 July considered the first round then the students would be shortlisted for the second round of audition on 9 July? Or, both 2 July and 9 July were considered the first rounds of audition?

Who is Mrs Kim? Is her name Audrey?
