About us For 100 years, the Royal Academy of Dance has been one of the world’s most influential dance education organisations.
Our ever-increasing programme of outreach work brings dance into diverse communities and our Faculty of Education’s research into the contribution of dance to wellbeing has led to the development of specialist training for older learners. As part of our work in inclusive dance, we have also introduced RADiate, a project which provides subsidised dance classes to children on the autism spectrum and those with complex learning difficulties.
Our exams set standards in classical ballet and we are a global leader in Continuing Professional Development for dance. We take pride in inspiring a worldwide network of dance teachers and dance enthusiasts, and currently have around 13,000 members in 89 countries.
“By studying at the RAD, I can develop my technique, further my knowledge in the field of dance, as well as gain a world class teaching qualification.”
