      Thanks thanks.

      I’ve a qn here
      Sba informed me in yrs that they hv concert the girls will not have exams.
      Will this affect the application form for dsa if they need to fill up g1-g5 the results
      And the child doesn’t have the max cert coz it was not taken due to concert?

      Also, if say after passing grade 1, then midway thru learning in prep for grade 3,decides to stop, coz g2 was skipped due to concert, does that means she has only g1 as highest grade cert though she is now doing g3, just that didnt take the exam?

      So in such situation, wise thing to do is sit for exam then leave if needed?

        Hi Ryes
        From whai I know, there are no pre-requisites for RAD Graded Examinations. It is not necessary for candidates to have taken the previous Graded Examination before being entered for an examination.

            I'm sharing based on my own research done.
            Only had experienced with sba once when I brought my girl for trial last sun.
            I love sba, the professionalism, the spacious waiting space for parents to sit and wait, 3 changing rooms, toilet accessible.
            You can call sba, look for yani and she will arrange a trial for your girl.
            Trial $21.40. Not sure if it differs at each grade trial but thats what I paid for pre pri trial. After the assessment done, she will call you again after the teacher has provided the feedback to them. On whether your girl is accepted to the sch and at which level.

            Aqdance- two mummies I got to know via forum sends their girl there. It's operated by one of ex teacher fr crestar. They produce good dancers. Also one of my choice but had to forego due to location and the traveling.

            Nafa- I read somewhere that nafa doesn't send the girls for grading. I can't be sure about this. Didnt call them either.

            Given the 3, I would go trial at sba and aq and then decide fr there.
            HTH.

                Challenging both their minds and bodies in this needy art form, those who foremost in dance need all the help they can get. This is where dance shoes come in. They are the dancers’ best group with their trendy look, durability, and ease of use red bottom shoes for women.Students of dance are taught how to express their design and emotions through innumerable forms of dance such as modern, jazz, national, folk, and ballet. They learn something like explicit body image, good nutrition, and procedures to nip in the bud injury. They also help in the fabrication of dance dresses (buychina shop dance dresses), operational with costumes, lights, and sound. They may opt to educate dance later on in their careers.So if you want to hound your love for dance on a sophisticated level, enroll yourself in dance trade school. But before doing that, you need a good pair of dance shoes to weather all dance challenges.

                  Need to rant off abit.

                  Just called okh to enquire about the pri level leotard price and the skirt.
                  The lady DID NOT sound patient at all. Pissed.

                  Then I said as my girls first lesson is wed and I would like to come down tomorrow to purchase so I don’t have any prove that she’s a student at that sch to get the 10%.
                  She went curtly, we need the xxx member card. Otherwise we cannot provide the discount.

                  So I said fine will come down another day.
                  And ended off abruptly thank you.

                  What attitude?

                  It was a totally different attitude over at sonata.
                  So friendly. But I don’t know if sonata pink leotard is the same as okh pink leotard?
                  Are they all the same shade of pink?
                  The ballet sch said okh is their recommended retailer and have 10%.
                  I must feedback to the ballet sch.

                    My DD is in K2 too. She's doing primary lvl at SBA.

                    Hey, my DD is also doing primary lvl at SBA now. Your DD and mine could jolly well be classmates. I'd just gotten the letter about the extra coaching session to prep for next yr's exam. Would you be signing up? I probably will cos my girl enjoys her ballet classess alot and I can see that she always puts in her best efforts in class.

                        2 and a half is too young
                        Not ready yet, she will disrupt the whole class
                        May not be toilet train
                        It is better to wait till she reaches 3 and a half of age
