Introduction
Contemporary dance classes for kids can help children build movement technique, creativity, musicality and confidence in an expressive setting. Families in Singapore can choose from recreational classes, graded syllabi, performance-focused programmes and advanced pathways for aspiring dancers. Some centres offer small-group teaching, while others provide examinations, competitions, showcases or DSA-related preparation. The right class depends on a child’s age, experience, personality and goals. Practical considerations such as class size, safety, schedules, locations and fees matter too.

Google Review
The studio was apologetic for the service and acknowledged that they would improve on their processes for last minute class cancellations, so future students would not have to make wasted trips 🙂 The studio also extended the expiry of the complimentary class, so I had more time to come for a class despite my busy schedule.
Few weeks later, I eventually attended a New Jack Swing class, by Jin Wen and thoroughly enjoyed myself! It was a small class, but the environment was inviting and welcoming. It was easy for someone who hasn't danced in awhile, to feel comfortable and to enjoy the class!
Thank you EV Dance!

I’m updated monthly with videos on my child’s progress. A safe and nice environment.
A special thank-you for offering Acro dance classes for younger children. Our daughter, now 6, discovered her love for Acro when she was 5, back in the U.S. After moving here, it was a real challenge to find a studio that welcomed kids her age into Acro, so we were thrilled to find All That Jazz. You’ve created a space where young dancers can feel inspired and supported, and we’re so appreciative of that.

My daughter has been with them and she’s managed to get a Distinction for every level of Pop Vocals exam all the way up to Grade 5. The teachers here really know how to prep the kids—they make sure the technique is solid without killing the passion for singing.
What we love most are the massive opportunities they provide beyond just the classroom:
Local & Regional Stages: They don't just stay in the studio! My daughter has had amazing chances to perform and compete both locally and across the region.
Confidence Building: These international and local exposures have really leveled up her stage presence and confidence.
Truly a top-notch school with a passionate owner who cares for his students. If you want your child to excel while actually loving the journey, look no further. Highly recommended!
Good Job and keep up the great work MADDspace! 👍

A satisfied student/customer
What I really appreciate is how he always takes time at the end of every session to ask us for feedback and reflect on our takeaways, which helps us grow not just as dancers but as people.
Even though I only joined a few months before the recital in May, Sharul encouraged and supported me the whole way through. That experience was so meaningful, and it wouldn’t have been the same without his energy and belief in me.
Now, beyond being an amazing teacher, he feels like a friend that I can share my honest thoughts with. I’m so grateful to have found this space and community. Highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to dance with heart, intention, and creativity.

How to Choose the Best Contemporary Dance Class for Your Child

- Training philosophy: Consider whether technical training, creative exploration or a balanced approach suits your child’s personality and goals.
- Suitable level: Confirm that placement reflects age, prior dance experience and readiness, rather than relying on age alone.
- Technical foundations: Look for instruction in alignment, coordination, strength, musicality, floor work and safe movement patterns.
- Creative development: Ask whether children explore improvisation, choreography and personal expression alongside prescribed combinations and performance pieces.
- Class attention: Consider whether class sizes let instructors observe movement closely and provide useful individual corrections.

- Studio facilities: Look for suitable flooring, clear rehearsal space, mirrors and equipment that support safe, focused practice.
- Progress pathways: Review available levels, assessments, examinations or milestones so your child can continue developing without unnecessary pressure.
- Performance exposure: Consider whether recitals, showcases or competitions match your child’s confidence, interest and readiness for stage work.
- Parent feedback: Ask how instructors communicate progress, improvement areas, attendance expectations and suitable next steps to families.
- Schedule fit: Compare lesson times, travel requirements, term calendars and policies for missed or replacement classes.
- Fee clarity: Confirm tuition fees alongside registration, examination, costume, uniform, competition and performance-related expenses before enrolling.
