While we know it’s irresistibly cute to watch your daughter tip-toe around in her little pink tutu, ballet actually has many benefits to offer such as learning poise, good posture and building confidence. In fact, classical ballet is the foundation of all dance genres – this is where proper posture, placement and control are developed.
Here is a list of ballet classes available for kids in Singapore.
