At the heart of Singapore's bustling Tanglin Mall lies the prestigious City Ballet Academy (CBA), an oasis of dance and movement, where passion meets excellence.

As a leading dance school, CBA prides itself on our high standards of coaching and our uniquely designed training programme that caters to students of all ages.

We pride ourselves in our years of experience in providing unparalleled quality dance education.

Our dance lessons stretch across genres and disciplines, ensuring that students of all ages and genders can find their rhythm, from creative movement and ballet to jazz, contemporary dance, Chinese dance, salsa, and Latin dance.

We also offer Body Conditioning, Floor Barre, and Progressing Ballet Technique to provide an enriching, well-rounded dance experience for everyone.

At the helm of our esteemed institution is Mr Ilya Shcherbakov, the first and only Vaganova-certified teacher in Singapore.

Trained at the prestigious Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia, Ilya leads our team of high-calibre instructors with a wealth of professional experience under his belt, including notable stints at the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich, Universal Ballet Company in Seoul, and Boris Eifman Theater in Saint Petersburg.

He is a highly sought-after teacher and choreographer, whose students, such as Henri Frey (now a dancer with Ballett Theater Kiel), have achieved international acclaim and scholarships from revered institutions.

CBA deeply believes in nurturing children's interest in dance from a tender age, offering them an environment where they can flourish, learn, and create.

Our well-rounded programme offers students the chance to participate in internationally recognised graded examinations by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), international and local dance competitions, and master classes conducted by globally celebrated guest teachers.

In addition, we organise overseas trips to visit renowned vocational dance schools and hold annual performances where students have the opportunity to perform in dance pieces choreographed by our instructors, excerpts from famous ballets, and fairy tale stories like Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs.

Our commitment to fostering talent has seen our students gain successful entries into distinguished international vocational schools, and some have even embarked on professional dancing careers in international dance companies.

Furthermore, our students have successfully gained admission into Secondary schools of their choice through Direct School Admission (DSA).

With our robust and enriching curriculum, high-quality coaching, and dedication to nurturing talent, City Ballet Academy continues to be a beacon for aspiring dancers across the city.
