Children's Ballet Classes

At Russian Ballet Academy, we specialise in building solid classical ballet foundations for children aged 4 and above. Our structured programme is rooted in the prestigious Vaganova method, internationally recognised for developing strength, precision, and discipline in young dancers.

Located in Tai Seng, our academy provides a nurturing yet focused environment where children are guided through both technical and artistic development—laying the groundwork for future success in ballet. In addition to regular classes, students have opportunities to participate in performances, examinations, and international ballet competitions, enriching their training and stage experience.

Group Classes for Children

Ages 6-8

In Level 1 ballet, your child will build a strong foundation by learning essentials like turnout, alignment, and basic ballet terminology, while developing strength and flexibility. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to nurturing each dancer’s confidence and passion, ensuring they grow safely and are well-prepared for future levels.

Prerequisites

Experience: Dancers with up to one year of prior ballet experience are welcome. Placement is also based on individual ability as determined during the assessment process.

Ages 8-10

In Level 2 ballet, your child will continue to strengthen their foundation while expanding their knowledge of ballet terminology and technique. As they progress, they’ll take on more complex combinations and faster tempos, building the skills and confidence needed for more advanced training.

Prerequisites

Experience: Students should be comfortable with basic ballet terminology and movements at the barre, center, and during jumps, with at least 2 years of consistent practice. Placement is also based on individual ability as determined during the assessment process.

Ages 10-12

In Level 3, students focus on developing stability and balance through key elements such as demi-pointe, pre-pointe, pirouettes, and en tournant. The curriculum also introduces beginning pointe work for girls. This level serves as a crucial step in preparing dancers for more advanced training, including pre-professional levels.

Prerequisites

Experience: Students should have a strong foundation in barre, center, and jumps, supported by at least 3 years of consistent ballet training. Placement is also based on individual ability as determined during the assessment process.

Ages 12 and up

At this stage, dancers begin learning classical variations on pointe, while male dancers are introduced to both group and soloist variations. This training deepens their technical skills and prepares them for more advanced performance opportunities.

Prerequisites

Experience: At least 4 years of consistent ballet training, with a minimum of one year of pointe experience for girls. Placement is also based on individual ability as determined during the assessment process.

Ages 4-5

Our Pre-Ballet classes are designed to help your child develop coordination, strength, flexibility, and motor skills in a fun and small class environment. Our goal is to ensure your child is confidently prepared to begin formal ballet training by the end of the Pre-Ballet programme.

Prerequisites

Experience: Children who have little to no ballet experience are welcome to join. Placement is also based on individual ability as determined during the assessment process.
