introduction

 

These 90-minute classes are predominantly designed for adults of all ages and abilities. Whether you have absolutely no prior training, or have years of dance experience, we have the perfect class for you. Rekindle your love for dance with four class levels to choose from – Beginners, Level I, Level II and Level III. In addition, some classes will be taught by our very own artists of Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT).

All class levels except Beginners are conducted in an open class format which does not follow a progressive syllabus. This allows students the flexibility to attend any class of their choice, regardless of level, day and timing, without having to worry about following up from the previous session.

Unlike our previous administrative procedure, students no longer have to register for classes except Beginners. Now, you can just walk in and attend the class.

 

 

ADC Classes

 

Adults Dance Class (ADC) offers 4 levels of classes to suit your preference and knowledge of ballet technique:

Beginners – This 8 week class with a progressive syllabus is suitable for parties who have no prior knowledge of ballet. The Beginners class aims to equip students with the necessary knowledge of basic ballet technique which will enable them to proceed on to Level I after the 8 weeks.

Students will learn basic ballet terminology and basic movement for Barre work leading into centre work.
Unlike Level I to Level III open classes, where registration is not required, interested parties for the Beginners Class are required to email outreach@singaporedancetheatre.com to register your interest for the next intake.
Please note that enrolment for the next intake is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Level I - Suitable for parties who have prior basic knowledge of ballet technique. The session will comprise Barre work, beginning level center work, pirouettes and jumps.

Level II - Suitable for parties who have substantial knowledge of ballet technique. The session will comprise Barre work, center work including adagio, pirouettes, beginning petit allegro and grand allegro.

Level III - Suitable for parties who have advanced knowledge of ballet technique. The session will comprise Barre work, complex combination in center including adagio, pirouettes, petit allegro and grand allegro.

Previously, all students had to register for a class before attending. Now, with our revised system, all Students (except Beginners) will no longer have to register for a class. All you need to do is walk into the class of your choice.

However, please note that class vacancies are on a first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that the class is full, priority will be given to those who arrive early.

Do check the timetable for the lesson schedule and latest updates.
