Excellence in Teaching

Academic staff Our teaching staff are knowledgeable and accomplished practitioners whose experience of a wide range of dance teaching sectors ensures that you keep pace with the industry. All are highly-qualified, with many pursuing research in their specialist field. Staff also regularly present at international academic conferences and events.

Support staff Our friendly team of support staff are on hand to advise you in all nonacademic areas related to your study, such as queries regarding your programme, student finances, equipment and facilities. We also have a Student Support Officer who provides pastoral support and guidance in relation to additional learning needs and a Study Skills Coordinator who will be able to support you in the development of your academic study skills. Lecturers & speakers We regularly invite visiting lecturers and guest speakers to the RAD, providing members, staff and students with a fascinating insight into the world of dance and education. Our Guest Lecture Series has brought together a diverse set of perspectives on dance, including: • Gerard Charles (Artistic Director, RAD), • Amanda Eyles (Choreologist, Royal Ballet), • Roslyn Sulcas (dance writer and critic,

The New York Times), • Dr Ross McKim (former Artistic Director of

Rambert School of Ballet and

Contemporary Dance), • Dr Ann Hutchinson Guest (world-renowned expert in dance notation, highly acclaimed author, researcher on dance and founder of the Language of Dance Centre).
