FAQ

When does registration take place?

Twice a year, in October and May.
Register in October for courses commencing in January.
Register in May for courses commencing in July.

How do I register my child?

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.

Is an audition necessary for my child?

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. All information provided during the registration and audition process is strictly confidential, therefore we are unable to provide any feedback regarding the outcome/results.

What is the class size?

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.

Can you accommodate students with learning needs?

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.

What can my child learn?

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.

Will there be any exams?

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).

Where are the lessons held?

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

My child is unable to attend a lesson, is there any replacement class?

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

Does my child receive any certificate for this programme?

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.
