Young Artists Program

Since 2022, M.A BALLET has intuitively integrated our curriculum for students to be well-equipped for performances, competitions and vocational auditions.

All classes, excluding Pre-Ballet, will go by ‘Étude’, which translates to the intention of developing the foundations of a particular craft. 

We adopted a renewed focus on developing their technical and performative skills. In order to accommodate every student, our upgraded curriculum emphasises on the essentials to assess them based on their innate capabilities. They will not only experience improvements to their movements, but also grow a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of this art form.

The prices for all of our programs are calculated on a termly basis. 

Beyond the material costs, rest assured in our purposefully restructured teaching syllabus that is specially curated for all students as well as the higher quality of our ballet education that you will receive come the new year.

Mission: Emphasise dedication to technical growth and a focused training atmosphere.

Values: Communicate a commitment to high standards in both learning and performance.

• Adjusted Class Structure Cross-Training - We aim for multiple age groups to inspire students and enhance their learning experience through interaction. 

• Increased Expectations We require students' training frequency to be more regular for better outcomes.

• Enhanced Class Intensity Schedule frequent, focused rehearsals to develop technique.

• Growth Opportunities We are dedicated to expanding both the Young Artist Program and the Elite Program, with a particular focus on growing the Elite Program. This program welcomes students who demonstrate exceptional commitment and progress.

Pre-Ballet (ages 3-5)

Specially crafted for children from three to four years of age, M.A BALLET's Pre-Ballet programme is centred on the fundamentals of ballet, with a particular emphasis on coordination, as well as spatial awareness. To encourage a sense of rhythm and musicality, classical and instrumental music is used during the course.

At M.A BALLET, we believe that children are naturally creative, capable of communicating their thoughts and feelings in many ways. In addition to teaching the basics of ballet, our Pre-Ballet programme also aims to cultivate the students' natural creativity through fun movements and dancing with their friends, so as to help them discover how to express their personalities through dance.

Étude 1 (ages 5-7)

M.A. BALLET's Etude 1 teaches students aged 5-7 the essential abilities a dancer requires such as, stamina, core strength & flexibility. Students will undergo rigorous training & repetitive exercises that enable your child to prepare for learning the fundamental ballet training.

This program will allow students to amplify body intelligence & awareness. As part of our syllabus, students are introduced to customised barre training, in which slow plié and tendu are used to gradually expand the range, strength, and precision of students' movements.

Étude 2 (ages 8-11)

M.A. BALLET's Etude 2 will introduce intense dance training with intermediate techniques for children aged 7-10. At this stage, students will be taught to develop physical endurance.

This programme focuses on barre & centre techniques which includes swift combinations & routines. As such, students are expected to master core strength, stamina, concentration, flexibility & posture.

Students will also work on musicality which will enhance the elegance and quality of their movements. Combining the physical conditioning and technical training learnt at this level, we believe that our students will be very confident in their musicality and dancing ability by the end of this course.

Étude 3 & 4 (ages 10-12, 13-16)

Specifically tailored for aged 10-12 &13-16, M.A. Ballet's Étude 3 & 4 teaches demanding techniques. Your child will learn & attain advanced standards of balance, flexibility, mastering intricate footwork, inner muscle building, coordination, body awareness & good control.

Students will be trained to absorb & execute combinations on the spot to develop a sharp sense of musicality & presentation.

In addition, students will be introduced to pointe work from age 12. This decision will be made after reviewing the student’s progress and their level of commitment to take on further training.

Elite 1 & 2 (ages 7-9, 10-16)

Selected students only.

This program aims to support our outstanding students with a focused avenue of opportunities to instil invaluable skills and attributes, bolstering their confidence in all artistic pursuits.
