if you like me is not trained in ballet then what can you do. some of the things are very subtle & only when my daughter (who is now in advance 2) point them out to me do i realise them & sometimes still don't.

at that young age, their bodies are not fully develop & it may even be dangerous if you force them to do something that their young body is not ready for. developing their rhythm & musicality may be easier & more helpful.

also different teachers interpret things slightly differently & emphasis on different things.

all in all, i say find a good & reliable teacher & let him/her guide your daughter.

Hi,

Any comments on Attitude Dance studio at Bukit TImah Plaza?
My 4.5 years old daughter has been learning ballet there, under Teacher Alice for around 1 year.. now she's in Pre-pri class..
So far, ok, but I didn't learn ballet, so very hard for me to gauge

& the syllabus the teacher is teaching is CSTD..but if I am not wrong, seems like RAD is more recognised? Any advise?

I thinking of switching her to SDA/Nafa in future(as she's really very keen in ballet & I think these 2 schools definitely are professional in their teaching), when should I switch her?

Thanks in advance

what is CSTD?


ya, any parents any advice when is the appropriate time to switch ?
guess it will also depend on how "experienced" the little dancers are…
some baby-gem if exposed to ballet longer can do better than beginner of pre-ballet who are given class based on age only.


thanks
