We run the innovative Affiliate Training and Assessment Programme (ATAP) of the Royal Ballet School of London based on their holistic system of training.
We are an active member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) to ensure we stay abreast with the latest international dance research.
Our goal is to nurture and support the development of the next generation of creative artists and individuals who have a strong passion for dance across disciplines.
We strive to provide excellence in training through informed teaching and learning pedagogy for our immediate community.
We provide mentorship for youth aspiring to pursue a career in dance and help them transition to further education in the UK, USA, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Why choose Tarinao?
Each dancer's developmental needs are our number one priority.
We value an inclusive learning environment co-created by both teachers and students where creativity and appreciation of the art form are celebrated.
We do that by benchmarking dancers' progress through assessment material devised by teachers specifically for each batch of class, not a pre-set syllabus.

Teaching staff will provide Dancer and parents with timely updates on Dancer’s progress and eligibility for ATAP assessment. Dancer and parent(s) agree to respect and trust the teaching staff’s decision for assessment enrolment to be final and irrevocable for the best interest of the Dancer.
Finally, please note that every dancer is unique. At Tarinao, we celebrate that with many inclusive measures including ensuring that dancers are only entered for a formal assessment when they are ready. Teacher-in-charge will approach the dancer's caregiver or parent individually, when the dancer is deemed ready for a formal assessment, giving enough time for consideration and preparation.
