We help kids grow confident, happy, and focused through fitness and rhythmic gymnastics.
At Balance Academy, we inspire children aged 4 to 12 to love movement, connect with their bodies, and feel confident through rhythmic gymnastics. Over the last 10 years, we have offered after-school gymnastics at both international and local schools, and taught hundreds of students in our studio classes.
Our programmes are led by founder Erika Kurokawa, a former competitive gymnast with 20 years of experience perfecting the craft. Erika has taught in Singapore, Japan, and Canada. She believes gymnastics is not just about physical skill – it also promotes right-brain development and improves students’ ability to learn and retain information. And that is what makes it such a powerful enrichment activity from a young age.
We teach gymnastics essentials and exercises that promote flexibility, strength and coordination. Children will learn to express themselves creatively through graceful movements, combined with apparatus such as ribbons, hoops, and balls. And get better at connecting mind, body, and space.
Through this energetic dance style that fuses genres like hip-hop, pop and jazz, children learn to express themselves freely, build rhythm, and move with confidence. All while having plenty of fun!
Where your child can learn new skills and grow in a fun, supportive, and caring environment.

“My 11-year old daughter, Brooke, loves rhythmic gymnastics. Her body awareness and body control has increased tremendously throughout her sessions. She gets pure joy out of practicing and performing. This is all on top of the friendships made and confidence gained!”

“Balance Academy, in my opinion, is the best rhythmic gymnastics and K-pop dance studio!
We are very much appreciative of Ms. Erika’s guidance and coaching! What differentiates the class at Balance Academy is the patience and supportive environment provided by the instructors – Ms. Erika, Ms. Kotone and Ms. Lin, and fun filled lessons curated by them. Aside from their solid skills, techniques, and knowledge in child developmental stages, they attentively observe, understand and motivate each student to bring out the better version of themselves.”

“My daughter looks forward to Ms. Erika’s lessons every week.
I really appreciate her teaching style, which gently encourages children to feel “I want to do it!” from within themselves.
I also love how the lessons allow young children to experience a variety of movements—not just focus on one skill—at this early stage.
I feel that the strength and foundation my daughter is building here will surely support her in whatever she chooses to pursue in the future.”
Miko’s Mom

“The teachers always use positive words and encourages the children through praise, which makes my daughter look forward to every lesson.
The lessons move at a good pace, helping the children stay focused and engaged.
She has experienced the joy of gradually being able to do things she couldn’t at first through consistent practice, and I feel this has become a truly valuable learning experience for her.”
Arisa’s Mom

“My daughter joined Balance Academy three years ago, when she was five years old.
At first, she couldn’t leave my side and cried. But thanks to the kind and supportive teachers, she gradually gained confidence.
She has grown so much and now participates in class with pride.
Balance Academy offers fun and professional lessons in a variety of styles, including K-POP.
It’s a school we deeply trust and highly recommend.”

“It warms the cockles of my heart to see my little angel gain confidence and body flexibility through different genres of music during weekly lessons conducted by Erika sensei & her nurturing instructors. The preparation for the annual performances are intense but all in a good way and always good to see enjoying herself!”
Leia’s Mom

“My 4-year-old daughter attends the class.
In the younger group, elements of authentic rhythmic gymnastics are creatively incorporated into fun songs for children, making it easy and enjoyable for them to learn.
The variety of activities within a single class keeps the children engaged and allows them to enjoy learning without feeling overwhelmed.
The adorable leotards also help boost their motivation and make them feel special.”
Anna’s Mom

“At first, my daughter was very shy and hesitant to join the class. She often stood at the back and barely moved. But thanks to Ms. Erika’s gentle encouragement and fun teaching style, everything changed. Now, she dances with a big smile, full of energy and confidence.
She has become able to perform with confidence at recitals and regular evaluations, and she always looks forward to each lesson. At home, she practices proudly and has even started setting goals for herself.
As a parent, I’m truly happy to witness this transformation. The instructors at Balance Academy don’t just teach dance—they help children shine from the inside.”
Monica’s Mom

“Balance Academy is full of energetic, cheerful, and truly wonderful teachers who genuinely understand and care for the children’s emotions.
Each child’s individuality is respected, and the instructors offer praise for what they can do while encouraging them positively when they face challenges. As a result, I can see my child’s self-esteem growing steadily.
The teachers are full of passion and love for what they do. I wholeheartedly recommend Balance Academy to anyone considering rhythmic gymnastics for their child.”

Whether this is your child’s introduction to gymnastics or they are already keen gymnasts ready to conquer new levels, we have a non-intimidating and supportive environment. We prioritise making the experience as joyful, freeing, and affirming as possible.
The experience is fun but structured to ensure students make progress. Through proven training methodologies, we guide learners to improve their skills in coordination, rhythmic movement, spatial awareness, and balance.
We have a long track record of partnering with international schools to offer gymnastics classes to their students. Our programmes and trainers are recognised for their quality and effectiveness in enhancing children's physical and cognitive development.
Our programmes are led by Erika Kurokawa, a former competitive gymnast, and taught by certified instructors who are all former gymnasts themselves. They know the craft and are also dedicated to helping young children learn it through personalised attention and focused guidance.
Founder & Lead Instructor, Former Competitor
“When I started rhythmic gymnastics as a child, I fell in love with it. It gave me an outlet to channel my competitive spirit, learn discipline, and become more confident in myself.”
Erika began her journey with rhythmic gymnastics over 2 decades ago and went on to compete professionally on national, regional, and global stages. A lot of who she is today – her confidence, discipline, and resilience – was shaped by rhythmic gymnastics. She is fully confident that movement is one of the most wonderful ways in which a child can grow, not just physically but cognitively and emotionally too.
Driven to share the joys and benefits of rhythmic gymnastics in a welcoming space, Erika set up Balance Academy over 10 years ago and has taught hundreds of children.
Erika is certified by the Gifu Gymnastics Association and has taught students of all ages in Japan, Singapore, and Canada.
