The Worlds Most Important Ballet Teacher

The Royal Academy of Dance [ R.A.D.] has grown to become a global organisation that exists to develop and promote the knowledge, understanding and practice of dance internationally. Every year over 250,000 students around the world are taught the Academy’s classical ballet syllabi by Academy trained teachers.

The safe and correct training of your children is one of the R.A.D. major concerns, which is why our Grades Syllabus has been devised with great care. It progresses a child in slow stages, demanding no more of a young body than it can easily cope with.

Dance develops life skills, increasing confidence and self-esteem, expression, communication and self motivation.
Dance improves postures and physical strengths
Dance develops Co-ordination and appreciation of music
Dance provides new and exciting challenges and opportunities to meet other like minded people.

The Academy provide three syllabi in Classical Ballet. There are two exam syllabi, known as Graded Examinations in Dance and Vocational Graded Examinations in Dance. There is also a non assessed syllabus known as Presentation Classes. All are designed to recognise the progress and achievement of children and young people.
