video-My 1st Ballet Class (澄3y1m)

 第二堂已經有這樣的表現, 實在是太棒了啊, 囡!

朋友的太太在夏威夷開了第一所英式的RAB芭蕾舞學校, 學費接近本地蘇聯式的學校三倍! 於是又跟小Bie跑了三間收三歲幼兒的學校觀察了解, 不但媽咪不太滿意, 連小Bie也沒有踏出半步, 唯有這所RAB學校, 你上了第一堂隔兩天就問媽媽為什麼這麼久還未上芭蕾舞堂?

自你五個月大開始, 媽咪帶你往大大小小的playgroup, 全部都是唱唱玩玩、氣氛歡愉的classes, 你從來沒有這個反應, 似乎, 你的確非常愛跳芭蕾舞!

踏上芭蕾第一步... 跟媽咪說你長大了, 要自己上樓梯...

說要自己穿鞋子...

到學校先看見兩歲班的小妹妹, 啊, 原來兩歲的孩子也很喜歡, 亦跟得上, 也很有規律!

一到步看見鏡子你就自戀地親親自己了!

RAB國際性的program經過多年來的經驗, 為每個不同階段的小朋友設計, 不但課程有趣、生動, 竟然連三歲孩子要學的圖形、顏色、上下左右、內外、數字、小動物... 這些元素混進了教程, 使孩子學習中得到最大的滿足感!

配合種種, 又奠定了芭蕾舞的基礎功!

小Bie很留心上堂, 第一堂有很多對她而言難度高的挑戰 (比如還未有信心單腳站立的她在上第二堂時已經做到了, 還嚐試單腳跳呢!)

芭蕾式致謝

Pre-School Program – Ages 2 to 5 yrs old*

Children’s play has a central role in facilitating cognitive, motor and affective development.  Through play young children learn about their environment and come to understand the world around them. It is essential that children are encouraged to copy, explore, create, discuss and watch movement. Young childhood is NOT a time for limiting movement experiences.

Parent & Tots / Just Tots - Begins at age 2

Pre-Ballet 1 - Begins at age 3


Pre-Ballet 2 – Begins at age 4


* Classes at RAB follows the academic school year, students will graduate to the next level in June. Any advancement during the school year to the next level is solely at the instructor discretion.


The pre-school program provides a progressive program of study for the youngest students. Children will be given the opportunity to imagine, explore and be creative through movement. They are encouraged to describe emotions and explore creative worlds formed by movement and music. Each fundamental movement will be explored and experienced in a wide variety of contexts. Solid foundations are laid for children to reach their potential as future participants in dance and physical activity.

 The goals of the Pre-School Program are:

•  To enhance children’s movement and abilities and physical fitness

•  To aid in becoming physically and spatially aware

•  To stimulate listening skills

•  To encourage expressive movement

•  To build confidence and self-esteem

•  To encourage children to be co-operative and sociable

英國皇家芭蕾舞啟蒙班

課程依據英國皇家芭蕾舞學院考試課程編訂。由預備班至五級共分七級,可參加英國皇家芭蕾舞學院考試，考試成績為國際認可。學習芭蕾舞基本動作，訓練團體紀律，節奏感及對身體控制能力。 2 歲半起可以開始學習，到 4 歲半可以考英國皇家芭蕾舞考試

The internationally renowned Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) is one of the largest and most respected ballet techniques in the dance world.  They promote not only the discipline of dance but also complete knowledge and understanding of dance.  Dancers progress is yearly reviewed by examinations to set standards and reward achievement.


   The R.A.D. was founded in 1920, at the Trocadero Restaurant in Piccadilly, London, by a small group of eminent dance professionals.  Brought together by Philip Richardson, former editor of The Dancing Times, the group represented the leading European schools of ballet:  the Danish School, the Russian School, the Italian School, the French School and the English School.  Their concern about the poor quality and badly organized state of dance teaching in Britain at the time led to the emergence of the ‘Association of Teachers of Operatic Dancing in Great Britain’.


   Over the next decade, the Association flourished, growing rapidly in size and influence and, at the last Privy Council Meeting of King George V (in 1935), it was granted a Royal Charter and became the Royal Academy of Dancing.  On the death of Queen Mary in 1953, HM Queen Elizabeth II became Patron of the Royal Academy of Dancing


   Today the Royal Academy of Dance curriculum is taught in 79 countries, taught to over a quarter of a million students, has 36 offices worldwide and over 13,000 members
