How To Tie A Bun With Shoulder-Length Hair
Students who are to sit for their ballet exams are required to tie their hair into a bun. This is a pre-requisite in order to sit for the exam and the examiners are flown in from overseas. In some ballet academies like Jean Gan, they are pretty strict and even for regular classes, students must…
Alycia’s Trial Ballet Exam Again
Today is Alycia’s mock-up ballet exam again. Yes, again! This is the second mock-up exam in a month. This time, invitation has been extended to parents to watch their little ones dance. I wonder why there are so many mock-ups! For pete’s sake, these little ones are only toddlers! I feel bad that I am…
Ballet’s Trial Ballet Exam
Sherilyn My Earnest Ballerina
On Friday, as Alycia and Sherilyn were waiting for daddy to pick them up for their ballet class, koo mah from Hong Kong (my sils from NZ and HK are here for a holiday) asked Sherilyn to ‘perform’ what she has learned in ballet school. Without any hesitation, my Miss Show-Off gladly showed off her…
Sherilyn Finally Got To Wear Her Ballet Costume
Yesterday was Sherilyn’s second ballet lesson, well it was supposed to be her third but she missed a lesson last week when she was down with high fever. I normally have a hard time getting Sherilyn to wake up from her afternoon nap but yesterday was an exception. At the mention of “Sherilyn, wake up…

Alycia has only been attending 8 months of ballet lessons and she joined her other classmates who have been learning ballet for 1-2 years in the concert. It’s a shame I couldn’t attend the concert as the entire concert lasted around 2…
Ballerina In The Making

The students lining up for their turn to walk tip-top, chest out, hands on waist and head raised, towards the teacher. Alycia is the second tallest in the…
Alycia’s First Ballet Class
Despite running a low grade fever, I still brought Alycia to her first ballet class yesterday. Thank God, she did not puke or purge in class and was enjoying every moment of the 1-hour session. While the teacher was teaching the kids dancing, Sherilyn and I watched them through the door outside the room. I am…
Alycia Is Learning Ballet!
Yesterday daddy and I brought Alycia and Sherilyn for a free trial baby ballet class. I had no intention of sending them for ballet class so soon. I thought the earliest I will sent Alycia will be next year when she turns 5 years old. Before the class, Alycia kept telling me that she doesn’t…
