Singapore’s Best Dance Classes for Kids
Here comes the hot stepper! If you’ve got junior jitterbugs with restless feet, we’ve got an indoor outlet where they can work off that energy. We’ve scouted far and wide for the best dance classes for kids in Singapore to get your little groovers footloose, and fancy free!
Tanglin Arts Studio
Tanglin Arts Studio strives to show respect for all dance methods and styles, and boy, do they have it all: ballet, hip hop, tap, jazz, freestyle, cheerleading, and even glee club! Billy Elliots in the making can express themselves freely with boys-only classes. Kids as young as 2.5 years old can attend their Mommies & Me classes, where you can bond over some smooth moves.

Jitterbugs Singapore
The folks at Jitterbugs Singapore bring dance and movement to a whole new level with their Circus Swingapore classes, where munchkins learn circus and acrobat skills! Ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and musical theatre are also on offer too. If the kiddoes are flip-flopping about what they’d like to really learn, there are trial classes and holiday workshops available for a sampler sesh.

Kavanagh Dance
If you’re looking for a dance school that specializes in The Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing (CSTD) syllabus, Kavanagh Dance is the place to go. They are well-trained in classical and theatrical ballet, modern jazz, tap, and even dance choreography. But what really caught our eye was Dancesport, covering energetic Latin American dances like jive, cha cha, and mambo.

Singapore Ballet Academy
Affiliated to the veritable Singapore Dance Theatre, the Singapore Ballet Academy has a good, long 50 years of experience in ballet dancing behind them. So if the littlies are head-over-heels in love with ballet (a la Natalie Portman in Black Swan), this is the institution to enrol them in.

The Ballet School
With a complete classical ballet program with certification from the Royal Academy of Dance, The Ballet School is another great place for pumpkins who want to go pointe with their dancing. Besides jazz, hip-hop, and tap dance, they’re another school on our list that offers Dancesport, including competitive ballroom dancing as well.
