Giselle8, bukit batok east cc has ballet RAD grades up to advanced 1. the place where i am dancing now.

you may want to pm me for more details, if you are interested.

Hello to all!:D

Well actually i am doing beginner adults class for ballet now, but i would like to switch to a school that really takes adult students (i'm 17) seriously. as in SERIOUSLY! i thought of Attitude Performing Arts, but for me personally, i really feel that i am heading nowhere with open classes, because it is my childhood dream (& fantasy, haha!) to really do ballet seriously, but unfortunately due to some circumstance it could not be fufiled this the beginning of this year. My question is, could i go up to the counter / call and ask if i could join a syllabus class (eg grade 5?) straightaway? or what else could i do or ask, cos if i have to take Adult Foundation & Syllabus classes simultaneously, i honestly think it would certainly cause a heavy financial strain on my poor parents. Please advise! i'm really in a dilemma.

THANK YOU ALL!

Anyway, where do you do classes now? I think 17 years old... hmm, you could try grade 5, yea. Where do you live anyway? If you live in the east or something then maybe I can recommend my teachers.

hello!

im learning at Dance Arts now. I live in the north.. & so far what i've read from the threads indicate that most reputable schools are located somewhere in the east or west? argh! that's so.. disappointing. the only reason why i thought of Attitude Performing Arts is cos its just beside my school. oh, Grade 5? but i'll haf to go thru an audition or smth? i'm not exactly good! i think i suck terribly. posture's terrible. bleah!

Have you got any background? I suppose if you've taken some adult classes then maybe you're ready for grade 5. I could be wrong, but I guess if you understand all the 5 positions of feet and arms, and how they should roughly look like, you can enter a grade 5 class and learn the rest... haha

I had a hard time teaching this girl who had no background the basics, but she dances modern dance quite well, and well, they're quite similar.

Just try grade 5 I guess, you'll be fine... not sure about north... There are good teachers in the east Of course, the other students can tell you how good their teachers are too, so, you'll just have to find out for yourself haha.=)

haha. my friend joined my class when she was 17 too. but she catched up really fast. maybe it's because she does modern dance and she's quite flexible. if u have some dance background, i think u can go into grade 5. depend on the teacher ba.

Ah, where's everyone? There can't be less than 20 singaporean dancers on dance.net...

Haha. They are many more! Most from SBA. But i guess they seldom come here anymore...

okay.. so that was fine. haha. i didn't write my name, but i'm sure some people know who i am! haha..

Ahh!! Where do you take advance foun classes? I've been looking high and low for them!

at sba. i think quite a lot of schools do offer advance found classes! as long as it's a dance school which does majors and it's quite reputable, it should offer advance found and above.

Hmm, most schools skip advance foundation you see... aww... SBA is so far =(

scgs has a very good reputation in dance and i heard that u have to be very good to get into the dance club. u must be very good then. i love scgs's dances=)

Ah, I just realized... did you come to Tampines West CC for some Jazz rehersal or something with Ms Ong? I remember that there was an scgs dance group that came over, they did pretty nice jazz.

erhh no i never did. haha. i was in sc dance grp since primary school.. sec school is affiliated. yupp. sc dance is good! but i'm not. haha. XP anyway, yeah bubblebran. we are doing advance found, but my teacher says that if we're up to standard we'll try pushing for advance 1..

hey dancingeorge u're so good lar!! haha.. yes i agree SC dance is really good although we also have people who are not so good.. but what matters is we all love to dance! haha..

Hey Pavlovacool, can u tell me more about the Laselle classes that u do? Is it for like pre pro ppl or just for general public? Cos I live just 5 min walk away from Laselle in s'pore,I can prob pop in there for classes everyday just like u! how fun.

I think pavolacool is studying for dance degree/ diploma. That's why she's having so many classes. I don't think La Salle has walk in classes.

Sigh, i figured as well. Nevermind then.

you could sign up for it! =) haha

a few of my friends went there to do pas de deux classes!

Bubblebran, yah I do want to be a dancer. Dancingeorge, why did you put “jacek and ms tucker? Haha”??????? In the evening when classes are finish there are sometimes extra classes for lasalle student and outside people.
I’m studying for degree course
