RAD
The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is a globally recognised institution with syllabus classes starting from Pre-Primary and Primary, then progressing up to Grade 8, and Vocational Levels. The students will learn classical ballet, free movement and character dancing within the grades, introducing pointe work with Vocational.
Our optional annual examinations at all levels are designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities. The RAD examinations are listed on the UK’s Educational framework, therefore allowing students to collect UCAS points for their examinations taken which can be used towards University entry.
Pre-Primary and Primary Grade ballet classes are for younger children who have started school, and are interested in learning ballet through fun, energetic sequences.
Grade 1-8 Ballet classes are suitable for students who wish to explore ballet, have fun and gain grades. It provides a broad practical dance education and develops technical, musical and performance skills.
Vocational Training
Vocational Graded ballet classes offer another branch to the RAD examinations. These advanced level classes offer a more in-depth study of classical ballet in a more technical manner, and include the training and examination of Pointe Work.
Through invite only, students can move from Graded examinations to Vocational examinations at an appropriate time, or they can study both pathways simultaneously. These levels are for students that show additional potential & commitment, and those aiming towards a vocational career in dance.
