Founded over 55 years ago, the Singapore Ballet Academy (SBA) is THE place to go for serious ballerinas given the meticulous training they provide and their reputation for instructing students who have been accepted into renowned international dance schools. They follow the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) syllabus and prepare their students for RAD exams. The SBA offers classes for kids starting at the age of 4 and they also have an all-male ballet class. They organise a concert every two years and also have a youth performance group (YPG) for which students must audition.
