taught properly.
A graded, exam-track academy where dancers from age three build real technique — at the pace that’s right for them.
Foundation · Artistry · Discipline
Aria Ballet Academy was built on a simple belief: that beautiful ballet grows from honest foundations. We teach the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus with rigour and real warmth, so every dancer — recreational or pre-professional — progresses on solid technique and genuine love of the art.

A studio with standards, and a heart
Where dancers are built, not rushed
Founded by former company dancer Madeleine Sng, Aria grew from one frustration with the studios she trained in as a child: too many pushed exams over technique, and grades over the dancer. We do the opposite.
Every dancer here learns correct alignment and the real vocabulary of ballet from the first term, moves up only when the work is secure, and is corrected with care — never shamed in front of the room. It is how good dancers, and happy ones, are made.
More about Aria Why families choose Aria
An academy, not a class
A Recognised Syllabus
We teach the Royal Academy of Dance graded and vocational syllabus, so progress is internationally recognised and properly structured.
Readiness, Not Rush
Dancers move up a grade and enter exams only when the work is genuinely secure — a grade well earned, never a grade pushed.
Small, Seen Classes
We keep groups small so every dancer is corrected by name, from the three-year-olds in baby ballet to dancers on pointe.
Foundation & Artistry
Technique comes first, but never at the cost of musicality and expression — we grow dancers, not just exam candidates.
The Aria pathway
From first plié to pointe
A clear, unhurried route from a child’s very first class to serious pre-professional training — or wherever along it a dancer chooses to stay.

Build proper foundations

Progress at the right pace
Dancers move up a grade and enter exams only when they are ready. We keep families honestly informed each term so there are no surprises.

Every dancer is a little different — let’s find the right fit together. Send us a quick enquiry or message us on WhatsApp and we’ll place your dancer properly.
This is a friendly guide, not a final placement. The surest way is a trial class, where the teacher confirms the right level in person. Aria Ballet Academy is a fictional demo brand built by SGBP.

From our families
Dancers, and parents, who stayed
Germaine Lau
★★★★★
My daughter has gone from a shy six-year-old to a Grade 3 dancer who practises in the kitchen. What I value most is the honesty — they only entered her for the exam when she was genuinely ready, and she passed with Distinction. Worth every term.
Aravind Menon
★★★★★
My son started ballet at twelve, which I worried was too late. Aria made him feel welcome from day one and never patronised him. A year on his posture, focus and confidence are transformed, and he asks to go to class.
Rachel Tan
★★★★★
I always wanted to try ballet and finally did at thirty-eight. The beginners class is so kind and clearly taught — I never feel out of place. It has quietly become the hour of the week I protect the most.
