As parent and educator myself, this is my first post on a school. I am appalled by my experience. :roll:
I will not recommend parents whose children are not 'gifted' in dance/ballet to send their children to Trudance. At least not for serious ballet. For fun, its probably ok.
My dd likes ballet, but we stopped during PSLE year. She's also not one of those talented ones (how many of us are). But she asks to go for Ballet lessons in Sec 1.
Initially, dd was at Dancepoint before we too the break. After, due to timing and location, I thought I could try out Trudance Singapore. Initially, all was quite smooth. After ONE year, I checked in with the teacher about dd progress and I was greeted with the happy news that dd was going to be promoted to the next grade too. We arranged for exams and all.
In a short 3months later, :yikes: I was informed dd was not good enough.
I questioned why there is such sudden drop in performance.
After checking with dd and teacher, my conclusion was that the teacher was not watching my dd closely throughout the 1year 5months. As an educator, I dont beleive there can be such DRASTIC change in performance (not for teenagers whose motor skills are established). I tried to feedback to the Management team, but they didnt allow me to elaborate and brush me off. :nunchuk:
I did look here for Trudance reviews previously but didnt find much infor, so I thought this may come useful to parents.
