LAURA THAM

BA(Hons) Ballet Education ARAD LRAD RAD RTS

Laura was first called to the allure of the stage at the age of five. More than just the appeal of pink slippers and tutus, it was the joy of free movement that guided her in the direction of dancing at the Sylvia McCully School of Dancing where she continued her classical ballet training and has since been teaching the RAD syllabus in the school for 10 years.

Laura has obtained high distinctions for all her Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Higher Grades to Advanced level examinations. Laura also graduated with a Diploma from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in May 2009. Laura graduated from the Royal Academy of Dance with First Class Honours in BA (Hons) in Ballet Education and attained the Licentiate of Royal Academy of Dance with Distinction in July 2019. During her studies at the RAD, London HQ, she received the Winifred Cullis Memorial award by the Royal Academy of Dance, Faculty of Education, for exemplary achievement and positive support towards peers. While studying in the UK, she has taught ballet and contemporary to young children up till adult learners.

Laura believes in caring for each and every one of her students by giving them personal feedback, encouraging her students to express themselves and achieve better self-esteem through dance.
