About Singapore Ballet Theatre
Singapore Ballet Theatre is a dance school operating under the Education category, with a presence at Bugis+ Mall on Victoria Street and coverage across Singapore. It holds KakiList verified status, and carries a Google rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 137 reviews — a robust sample that provides a reasonable indication of service quality.

For families and individuals considering enrolment, the typical starting point is to enquire about level and syllabus fit — whether classes align with RAD, CSTD, or another ballet examination board, and what age groups or ability levels are currently accepted. It is worth asking whether a trial class is available before committing to a term, and whether classes are conducted in groups or on a one-to-one basis. Clarifying the term commitment, timetable options, and whether lessons are held on-site at Bugis+ only will help assess practical fit alongside pedagogical considerations.
To take the next step, contact Singapore Ballet Theatre directly by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing to ask about current class availability, examination pathways, and term fees before committing.

★★☆☆☆
Class sizes are generally large (around 30–40 participants), which limits opportunities for individual feedback and corrections. Most instructors are either company-affiliated or retired professionals. Of those I’ve encountered, only a few have created a supportive and constructive learning environment. Rosa Park (who was temporarily substituting) and Ivan (currently substituting) stood out for their attentiveness, offering personalised corrections and adapting exercises when needed. This greatly enhances the learning experience. As the class rates are significantly lower than those of typical adult studios, the range in student ability and maturity is understandably broader. While this is not an issue in itself, I have occasionally observed younger students, typically teenagers or those in university, offering unsolicited corrections to others (adults) during class, even while the instructor is still present. This reflects a lack of emotional intelligence and classroom awareness, and can come across as presumptuous, especially since they are fellow students, not qualified teachers. While such behaviour is not the fault of SB, it may be beneficial to establish a clear guideline that corrections should only be given by instructors. This would help maintain a respectful and focused environment where all students can feel safe to learn and grow.

Agreed that it is not possible for complete beginners to pick up any skill from open classes without fixed syllabus work and personal feedback. Class size varies depending on the day of class. I wasted two years of my time and money trying to learn from adult classes. I wish there was more honesty and acknowledgment from the dance company that this school is not suited for complete beginners with no ballet background. It would have saved me and some others I know alot of years.

The beginners one class was a good introduction to ballet. However, beyond that this studio is not suitable for complete beginners with no dance background. There is limited to none feedback given, due to the large class size. It was difficult to progress further in terms of technique. If, however, you already have dance instruction elsewhere and want an additional class to learn more combinations, or have ballet background then this school will be suitable for you. All in all, it was still an experience being taught by professionals.

Can I try a class before committing?›
Many dance schools in Singapore offer a trial class, sometimes at a reduced fee or as part of the first term's intake process. A trial session allows you to observe the teaching style, assess whether the level is appropriate for the student, and gauge how engaged the child or adult learner is during instruction. When attending a trial, it is worth noting the class size, the instructor's cueing and correction style, and whether the syllabus — RAD, CSTD, Cecchetti, or another framework — matches your goals. Contact Singapore Ballet Theatre directly to confirm their trial class policy and associated cost before attending.
What are the instructors' credentials at Singapore Ballet Theatre?›
Instructor qualifications at ballet schools in Singapore vary. Credentialled teachers typically hold teaching certificates from examination bodies such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing (CSTD), or the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), alongside performance or tertiary training backgrounds. Specific instructor credentials for Singapore Ballet Theatre are not available in the current listing. It is recommended to ask directly about the lead teacher's qualifications, years of teaching experience, and which examination syllabus is followed. Take the trial class and confirm the tutor's actual credentials before committing to a term.
