All new applicants will register online. Registering online does not guarantee a place as most of the courses are usually over-subscribed. Audition will take place after registration is closed.

Yes, all new students will have to audition. All successful candidates will be offered a place. The audition results are final. The School reserves the right not to provide the reasons to unsuccessful candidates.

The minimum number to start a class is 8. The maximum number is between 20 and 23 per class, depending on the size of the Dance Studio.

Parents need to inform us about their child’s learning needs upon registration. Children with learning needs will be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Our classes are held in a large group setting; hence we are unable to accommodate or admit children who require one-to-one supervision during lessons.

We provide different genres of dance, exposing students to different disciplines, techniques and training. Our aim is for your child to learn a new skill set through the beauty of movement and encourage them to apply that discipline in their growing journey.

There will be an internal assessment once a semester. Students will need to pass these compulsory assessments to be promoted to the next grade/level and be eligible to take the external examinations. Depending on the courses they are attending, eligible students will take external examinations with both the Royal Academy of Dance (UK) and/or Beijing Dance Academy (CN).

Our classes are held at the NAFA Campuses, 80 and 151 Bencoolen Street.

There is no replacement class for a lesson missed. The student may seek advice from the teacher-in-charge regarding the next lesson.

No certificate will be given for the completion of a course. However, candidates who participate in the Royal Academy of Dance and Beijing Dance Academy external exams and pass, will receive a certificate. Note that the external examinations are not conducted annually.
