WHAT EXACTLY IS BALLET?
Ballet is a classical dance form that requires highly developed technique. It is best known for its virtuoso techniques, such as multiple pirouettes, grand allegro, grand pas de deux, and high leg extensions. Ballet helps improve posture, flexibility, and grace through barre and centre work.
AM I TOO OLD TO START LEARNING BALLET?
Definitely not! Our classes cater to adults and working professionals, with students ranging from their 16s to 40s. Students under 16 years old are NOT PERMITTED in Adult Dance Classes, as these are designed specifically for adults and working professionals.
WHAT LEVEL SHOULD I ATTEND?
Adult Dance Classes are suitable for all levels, with or without prior ballet training. Classes are progressive and non-syllabus based, so you may purchase a single class card to assess the class level that suits you best. Instructors will advise on progression. You can also try different levels if you feel over- or under-qualified for a specific class.
We offer a range of classes starting from those with no experience to which are advanced. You may pick any levels based on your current level of ballet experience. You may refer to the Level page. If you are not sure, call us and we can advice you! You can always try one class of the level and you can evaluate.
WHAT ATTIRE SHOULD I COME IN?
A leotard with tights or leggings for ladies, and tights or bike shorts paired with a tank top or t-shirt (for men) are strongly recommended so that our instructors can see your body form and correct you. As this is a ballet class, ballet shoes are strongly recommended and you can simply buy them over the counter.
HOW CAN WE REGISTER AND MAKE PAYMENT?
You can purchase a single class card, a 10-lessons card, or a 20-lessons card at the front desk. Beginner 1 students must register and make full payment before the term starts.
HOW MUCH ARE THE CLASSES?
- Single class card: $30 (valid for Beginners 2 to Level 3 only)
- 10-lessons card: $240 (valid for Beginners 2 to Level 3 only)
- 20-lessons card: $440 (valid for Beginners 2 to Level 3 only)
- Beginners 1: $160 per term (8 weeks, no card needed)
Please note that classes are deducted when attended, and all cards are valid for 6 months.
*Prices stated are exclusive of GST*
Can I take any classes upon purchasing the Dance Card?
Yes, you can but we suggest that you choose classes based on your level of comfort and ability.
HOW LONG IS EACH CLASS?
Each class is 90 minutes long.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLASSES DURING THE DAY?
Yes, we offer daytime classes on weekends and evening classes on weekdays.
ARE THERE ANY EXAMS OR A SYLLABUS?
No. All classes are progressive and non-syllabus based.
HOW MANY LESSONS ARE THERE IN A TERM?
- Beginners 1: 8 lessons per term, spread across an 8-week period. Please note that no make-up classes or refunds are allowed for Beginners 1 once enrolled.
- Beginners 2 to Level 3: There are no set terms. Our classes are ongoing daily.
If I wish to withdraw from my dance card, can I refund?
Refunds are not allowed under standard circumstances. However, in cases of valid medical conditions, legal issues, or official work-related advisories, you may write to education@singaporeballet.org with supporting documents to request consideration for a refund or rescheduling.
DO I NEED BALLET SHOES?
Yes, ballet shoes are highly recommended for safety and comfort during class. However, if you’re attending your first trial class and don’t have a pair, feel free to join in comfortable, non-slip socks or bare feet. We recommend purchasing ballet slippers if you continue with classes.
CAN I TAKE MULTIPLE CLASSES IN A WEEK?
Absolutely! You may attend as many classes as your class card permits. Many students choose to attend multiple classes a week to further progress their skills.
I've already purchased the Beginner 1 class pack, but I would like to switch to a different schedule. Is that possible?
We generally don’t recommend switching classes as it helps the teacher track your progress more effectively. Additionally, it helps avoid overcrowding in any particular class.
Who do I contact if I have more questions?
For further information, feel free to contact us via email at customerservice@singaporeballet.org or by phone at 6338-0611.
