Opportunities and training are open to both local and foreign competitors
Dear Parents,
For the longest time, every facet of our society has embraced the plain old adage ‘practice makes perfect’. Yet, many dancers only embrace this within the confines of a dance studio and shift to an end mentality when the next competition comes around.
Why compete?
M.A BALLET seeks to break those rigid psychological barriers and give those under our tutelage the space to embody exponential psychosomatic growth. ‘Practice’ and ‘competition’ have thus become synonymous and symbiotic in our curriculum, forming a cyclical process of continuous improvement. Elements that characterise this dichotomy such as stage pressure and the looming presence of elite competitors are inevitable, but who says that we cannot use them to our practical advantage?
Honing the body
Your child’s dedication to competitive artistry will lead them on an inexorable march to attain their peak physique. “Technique, performance and endurance.” These will naturally develop every time they leave the stage as they recalibrate and discipline their mind to push their limits a few percentage points at a time.
Sharpening the mind
With each competition attendance, our team of experienced teachers will be here to support them mentally. Gradually, we will turn pressure into newfound passion and intimidation into skills acquisition. However, change is the only constant and improvement is not exclusive. Every medal tells a story, but not every story involves a medal. As a community, we need to understand that each disappointing experience can become an enriching lesson that will make victories that much sweeter.
Every competition is a practice; their consistency makes the journey.
– Mayu Watanabe, Director of M.A BALLET
