Open Days

The best way to find out what it’s like to study at the Royal Academy of Dance, is to come to one of our open days and experience it for yourself.

Our open days are fun, interactive and informative. Not only will you find out more about the programme of study you are interested in, but you will get to sample it too.

Join in classes Take part in a practical dance class relevant to your choice of programme and experience life as an RAD student first-hand.

Watch RAD students at work Get to see our students at work in their day-to-day classes by watching a ballet or performance class.

Take a tour Tour the building and explore the dance studios and study facilities.

Meet students and staff Chat to our staff and students over an informal lunch.

Presentations and questions Find out everything you need to know about studying your chosen programme, and the career choices it offers, at our careers fair session. Programme Managers and Registry staff are on hand to answer your questions.

If you can’t make one of our open days, you can join us for our virtual open days – keep an eye out for them via social media to ask questions and enjoy them from the comfort of your own home. RAD tours We welcome visitors to our headquarters, and offer tours (subject to booking). These are run between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. They begin at reception with a staff guide, and last approximately 45 minutes.

UCAS and higher education fairs We travel across the UK to attend UCAS exhibitions and careers fairs and have staff on hand to answer all your study and career questions. For further event details please visit: royalacademyofdance.org/openday or email: faculty@rad.org.uk
