We sincerely appreciate Singapore Ballet for their generosity in extending some of their professional dancers to teach adult courses at our academy. Their dedication to sharing their passion for ballet truly enriches our students’ learning experience. We highly recommend all ballet learners attend Singapore Ballet’s Adult Courses, which offer the most structured and progressive syllabus in Singapore.
Class Levels & Schedule
(★ indicates difficulty level; more stars = more challenging.)
Total Beginner Level
✔ Perfect for students with no prior ballet experience.
This class builds a solid foundation, beginning with the correct standing position—an essential starting point for all beginners. Students will learn fundamental movements such as plié, tendu, and jeté, gradually progressing to rond de jambe. All exercises are performed with both hands on the barre. The last 20 minutes focus on stretching and conditioning to improve flexibility and strength.
📌 Note: This is a non-progressive class, meaning the content remains consistent to allow students to refine their basics. Many higher-level students also return to this class to strengthen their foundations.
💡 Recommended for new students: The Singapore Ballet B1 course, which offers the most structured beginner syllabus in Singapore with a progressive learning approach.
Beginner Level
✔ For students with basic ballet experience.
After 3–6 months of introductory ballet, students can move on to this level, where they will learn the structured routine of a ballet class. Classes focus on barre sequences such as plié, tendu, jeté, rond de jambe, fondu, adage, and grand battement. Some instructors may incorporate basic center work, including port de bras, introduction to basic turn or small jumps, and sauté, while others may dedicate the last 20 minutes to stretching and conditioning.
This class provides a solid technical foundation before progressing to Beginner to Intermediate levels.
