Our Pre Ballet program is suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 8, who have no prior ballet experience.

Under this program, students in our Baby Ballet and Pre-Ballet classes learn self-discipline, listening skills, coordination skills, left and right discrimination and patterns in movement.

Exposure to the above reinforces important life skills like creativity, discipline, and team participation — all in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

Consisting of the Ballet 1 to Ballet 7 class levels, students will embark formally on their classical ballet training journey here.

The Academy employs a training regimen based on the historic Russian Vaganova method. This system is designed to involve the whole body in every movement, with equal attention paid to the upper body, legs and feet. This approach creates harmony of movement, builds a greater expressive range and forms a sound yet formidable dance technique.

The training program also includes components drawn from the French, Danish, Italian, American, Contemporary ballet methods as well as historical folk dancing to provide enhanced dance literacy to all students.

Our Open Ballet Program is available to youth and working adults who are beginners looking for high quality ballet lessons as well as opportunities to develop the beautiful muscle tone and strength of ballet dancers.

Classes are non-syllabus based and non-examinable but progressive. Teaching formats encompass technical, artistic and strength-training elements from our Russian Vaganova-based junior ballet level program and are hugely popular with adults and youth revisiting their past training, dancers working their way back to the stage from injury and other dance educators as well.

This program is for young dancers who have a passion for and interest in ballet but cannot commit to a formal academy syllabus and system due to their busy schedules and other commitments. 

It is specifically designed to be flexible in terms of commitment, non-examinable and to be much less technically demanding than our main academy program. However, it will still retain the high level of expertise and world-class training that Cheng Ballet Academy is known for. 

The classes cater to both male and female dancers from 12 to 16 years old outside our academy cohort who may not have received formal ballet training as young children. 

This program is designed for students from 8 to 14 years old, who wish to commit to a vocational path towards a professional dance career. Besides receiving vocational dance training, they will also receive guidance in developing practical, artistic and emotional skills required of professional dancers. Full Time Apprentices will start to build a dance portfolio - an essential part of their presentations as artistes, and also to supplement future applications to international dance colleges, pre-professional ballet academies and ballet companies. Outstanding students will have the opportunity to perform with Youth Ballet Company members. Program admission is via audition or invitation.
