A first class

The first time the music starts


Your child stands at the barre in a room of mirrors, and for forty-five minutes nothing else exists. There is a curtsey at the end, and they will want to show you.

It is the part most of our students still remember years later — long after they have forgotten which grade they were in.

One principal. One syllabus. One clear path.

The academy

A warm, encouraging and safe space


CSP Ballet & Dance is a Royal Academy of Dance school at Orchid Country Club, Yishun, founded by Principal Ms Chew Soo Poh — a dedicated and experienced ballet teacher with a passion for nurturing young dancers.

Following the internationally recognised RAD syllabus, we build strong technique, musicality, grace, and confidence in every student. We create a warm, encouraging, and safe space where students learn, grow, and shine — at their own pace.

The years ahead

You are not choosing a term. You are choosing the next ten years.

One syllabus, one teacher, one room. This is roughly where a child who starts at four will be, year by year.

Four

Pre-Ballet

First positions, learned as shapes rather than corrections. They find the beat before they find the step.

Six

Pre-Primary

The RAD syllabus begins. Real vocabulary, and the first understanding of what taking a class means.

Nine

Graded

A first RAD examination. An external assessment, and a certificate they keep.

Twelve

Grades 5–6

Pointe work begins at Grade 6, and the technique starts to look like ballet — they can see it in the mirror themselves.

Sixteen

Vocational

Intermediate and Advanced, and a stage they have grown up on.

Ballet classes

Four stages, one progression

A child who starts at four in Yishun can stay through the graded years and into the vocational levels without ever changing school. No dance experience is needed to begin.
