RAD Membership

The Royal Academy of Dance is a recognised Chartered body, leading and innovating in all aspects of dance, dance training and dance education.

By enrolling on one of our programmes, you not only become part of an international community of dance students, you also gain access to a global network of teachers, mentors and tutors. This means that from the very beginning we can give you the skills to become a first-class dance teacher.

As a student on one of our programmes you’ll be eligible for membership while you study. RAD membership means immediate access to a range of benefits to support you, whatever stage you’re at on your career journey.

Membership gives you the opportunity to: • explore employment opportunities before you graduate, • save money with discounts in the RAD shop including syllabus materials and teaching resources, as well as discounts on selected

RAD events and courses, • stay in the loop with the world of dance and all things RAD with our members’ e-newsletters and much more. As soon as you graduate you may be eligible to become an RAD Registered Teacher*. Becoming an RAD Registered Teacher allows you to: • show students and parents that you’re a qualified teacher with the exclusive use of post-nominal letters after your name and use of the RAD Registered Teacher logo on your promotional material, • be listed on the RAD website so potential students can find you and instantly know you’re a qualified RAD Teacher, • discover more about becoming a dance teacher with access to the Members’ Area including exclusive resources, marketing materials, advice and guidance on managing a business.
