How much does dance school cost in Punggol?

Weekly 1-hour group class: S\$120-280/month. Competitive programme (2-3 classes weekly): S\$280-650/month. Pre-professional training (5-6 classes weekly): S\$650-1,500/month. RAD/Cecchetti exam fees: S\$80-280 per grade. Annual recital costumes: S\$80-200 each. Competition entry: S\$50-250 per event.

Is "ballet" without RAD or Cecchetti accreditation real ballet?

No — it's generic movement marketed under the ballet name. RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) and Cecchetti Society are the two licensed syllabi in Singapore. Both require certified schools and examiners. Verify syllabus accreditation before enrolling, especially if your child is interested in ballet exam progression or serious training.

When should my child start pointe work?

Usually age 11-12 minimum, after 3+ years of solid ballet foundation. Feet need to be physically mature — growing bones can be damaged by premature pointe work. Schools pushing pointe at 8-9 are injuring growing feet for competition showboating. Run from any school suggesting early pointe.

Are competition programmes worth it for young children?

For most children, no. Weekly competition for 6-8-year-olds creates expensive (S\$500-1,500 per competition) and often unhealthy pressure. Developmentally appropriate: training focus with occasional competitions. Competition should follow strong training, not drive it. For truly pre-professional children (10+ years), competitions matter more.

What's the true cost beyond monthly fees?

Budget for costume fees (S\$80-200 per recital costume, 1-3 per year), exam fees, competition entry fees, specialised dance shoes (S\$60-150 per pair), leotards and tights, and sometimes summer intensive programmes. Annual all-in cost for a committed dance student often runs 40-60% above the headline monthly rate.
