Frequently Asked Questions

Art de Strength is a specialised strength and conditioning program built for young athletes in ballet, dance, and gymnastics.

Our science-based approach develops strength, balance, coordination, and mobility — helping children perform with greater control, confidence, and artistry, while reducing injury risk.

All classes are currently led by Coach Yuva — a certified NROC–MOE coach with an MSc in Sport Science and over 15 years of coaching experience.

He has:

• Published peer-reviewed research on adolescent development with NIE–NTU, Singapore

• Worked extensively with world champion rhythmic gymnastic coaches and Olympic athletes in curating youth strength and conditioning programs

• Made history as Singapore’s first male rhythmic gymnastics coach, designing and training athletes who have competed at the Youth Asian Games and World Championships

• Developed evidence-based training systems for both artistic and competitive athletes

Every session under Coach Yuva is grounded in science, precision, and care, ensuring each athlete develops strength with purpose and confidence.

Group Classes

• Small-group sessions (up to 6 students) focusing on general strength, stability, balance, and coordination.

• Perfect for children and youth in ballet, dance, or gymnastics looking to complement their technical training with structured conditioning.

Private Lessons

• For more serious dancers and athletes, looking for accelerated growth through fully customised sessions. Great for competitions, auditions, or recovery from injury. Each plan is tailored to their specific physical and developmental needs, with close progress monitoring and parental feedback

Both formats follow our proven system, just with different levels of individualisation.

Our training is ideal for children and youth aged 6–18 who are active in artistic sports such as ballet, rhythmic gymnastics, contemporary dance, or acrobatics.

Programs are carefully designed to match each stage of physical and skill development.

Unlike typical gym workouts, our training targets the unique biomechanical and movement demands of artistic athletes.

We focus on joint stability, flexibility under tension, coordination, and power control, ensuring the strength gained directly enhances artistic performance.

Absolutely. When done under proper supervision, strength training is safe and beneficial for growing athletes.

Every exercise is age-appropriate, technique-focused, and guided by qualified coaches with expertise in youth sport development.

Each session includes

• Dynamic warm-up & mobility drills

• Foundational to advance level strength & skill-based exercises

• Balance, core stability, flexibility and coordination training

• Complex movements and endurance training
