Dr Anne Hogan BA, MA, PhD

Nearly a century ago, the Royal Academy of Dance was founded by an international group of dancers and teachers. In that time, the RAD has established itself as a leader in its field. Operating in over 73 countries and with a membership of over 12,500, we offer teacher training programmes to more than a thousand students. Our ballet syllabus is taught all over the world, over 200,000 young people take RAD exams each year, and we stage annually in a different country the Genée International Ballet Competition. The unique breadth of our activities makes the RAD one of the world’s most sought after dance teacher training and education institutions, seen by many as an extended global family. We maintain the belief that every student should be supported and encouraged within a professional, considerate and sympathetic learning environment.

At the Royal Academy of Dance, our core purpose is the cultivation of inspiring teachers, and we do so through inspiring teaching across an exceptional range of programmes. If you seek to embark on a career in teaching dance, or wish to further enhance your dance teaching experience, you have come to the right place. Our portfolio of internationally acclaimed dance and dance teaching qualifications includes undergraduate and postgraduate level programmes, university validated or validated by the RAD as a Chartered Body. Delivered at either the RAD’s London headquarters or by distance learning, they are designed to accommodate a diversity of contexts and individual needs. We spare no effort in supporting you to realise your professional aspirations at every stage of your career. Once enrolled with the RAD you will become a Faculty of Education Student Member, and upon successful completion of your programme of study, you will be eligible to join the RAD as a registered teacher. Our commitment to Continuing Professional Development further enables our graduates to remain actively connected to a stimulating and global professional community.

Chief Executive

I commend this prospectus to you. If you are considering a career in dance teaching, then I do not believe you could do any better than start by enrolling on an Academy programme, and you will find within the pages of this prospectus all that you need to know about all that we provide.

“ This is my first time on a distance learning programme and I think it is fantastic!” Ghislaine Ruhomutally

This programme provides you with the knowledge, understanding and skills required by ballet teachers at the start of their careers. With a focus on RAD syllabi, you will explore the development and progression of ballet technique alongside acquiring teaching skills appropriate for the private dance studio. The programme also provides an excellent stepping stone for further study as a dance teacher. How is the programme taught? The Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies (CBTS) is studied part-time over two years, enabling you to combine personal and professional commitments alongside your studies. The programme commences in January of each year and as a part-time student you should expect to study for a minimum of 20 hours per week. In Year 1 you will study three modules through distance learning, as well as attending an Intensive Study Period, ten days in duration, in your country of residence in August/September. Each module is backed up by a detailed module study guide. You will be supported every step of the way by a tutor with whom you will have regular contact via online forums, email and telephone.

Ghislaine Ruhomutally Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies

In Year 2 you will undertake a practical teaching placement over 30 weeks. You will be supported by an approved Mentor in a dance school local to you, as well as an RAD appointed Practical Teaching Supervisor. You will also study career development, looking at the importance of continuing professional development, marketing tools and knowledge of market trends in the ballet teaching profession.

Before I started the CBTS programme I had tried other courses that involved going into college every day, but I realised I just didn’t enjoy sitting in a class all day. This is my first time on a distance learning programme and I think it is fantastic! The tutors are really supportive and the feedback they provide is timely and extremely helpful. As the programme fits around my own lifestyle, it gives me the freedom to study at my own pace, work and learn the RAD syllabus whilst helping out at my dance school.

“ As a distance learner, I have been able to fulfil my professional commitments and the programme has very much complemented my teaching.” Eleanor Haigh

The programme offers opportunities for dance teachers to study dance teaching and education in greater depth, to reflect on teaching practices and to explore new areas of dance teaching. How is the programme taught? The Diploma in Dance Teaching Studies (DDTS) is offered part-time over two years through distance learning, enabling students to study alongside personal and professional commitments. Students receive one-to-one support from experienced tutors, with opportunities for collaborative study through the use of online forums. Regular contact is made through email and telephone support as well as online discussion boards. Each module is supported by a comprehensive module study guide and additional online materials. In Year 1, you will explore what it means to be a dance teacher, alongside the legal requirements and professional values which determine effective and responsible teaching. You will learn about, and reflect upon, a range of learning and teaching theories as applied to practical dance teaching. In addition, you will develop and reflect upon existing practice by teaching in a new dance context.

Eleanor Haigh Diploma in Dance Teaching Studies

In Year 2, you will explore and engage with dance teaching skills at a more advanced level. You will select two module options which cover a range of areas of interest for dance teachers. These are studied alongside an extended teaching placement in order for students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical teaching.

I have been teaching RAD Ballet and Pilates professionally in schools for seven years. As a distance learner, I have been able to fulfil my professional commitments and the programme has complemented, not only my teaching but has allowed me to explore pedagogy, psychology, musicality and performance. From September, I will start an MA in Dance and credit the DDTS programme, which has fully equipped me to further my studies in Dance Education, as well as building my confidence as a dancer, choreographer and researcher.

“ I decided to study Dance Education to further enhance my skills and develop a holistic approach to dance pedagogy.” Hayley Aitchison

This programme offers a unique opportunity to become part of an international community of learners engaged in the study of dance education and teaching. You can choose to study at certificate, diploma or degree level. As a distance learner, you will be able to study from your own home, with key study materials available online and you will be fully supported every step of the way by a dedicated specialist team of tutors. The programme includes a compulsory Intensive Study week during the first semester of Level 4, at RAD headquarters in London, where you will meet other students as well as staff. How is the programme taught? Each level of the BA (Hons) Dance Education (BADE) can be studied full-time or part-time. The programme is modular and is delivered across two semesters each year. You are required to attend a compulsory Intensive Study Seminar at the RAD, London, in the first semester of the first year of study. All modules are supported by module study guides which are accessed online and contain key source materials, tutor-guided tasks and suggestions for further study. You are allocated a specialist tutor for each module, with whom you will have regular contact via email and scheduled telephone tutorials. All students have access to FoE online forums as a means of communication with students and tutors throughout the world.

Hayley Aitchison BA (Hons) Dance Education I grew up in Australia and moved back to the UK nine years ago with my husband and children. I taught dance after gaining a Diploma of Arts (Dance) from QUT and on returning to the UK, I started to teach private ballet lessons. I decided to return to study to further enhance my skills and develop a holistic approach to dance pedagogy. The programme structure builds a solid foundation with insight into the physiological, psychological and analytical training of the body, mind and soul of the dancer. Being a mature student has been challenging, but also beneficial to my children’s own learning as they have seen me face the challenges of university and conquer them.

“ The knowledge and guidance I have gained from the programme has helped me improve as a teacher and given me the skills and confidence I need to start my own successful dance school in the future.” Melissa Willis

This three-year degree programme combines dance training with preparation for teaching. Students on this programme form a small but significant group of onsite learners who work closely with tutors and other staff throughout their three years at RAD headquarters in London. It attracts both UK and international students who make the most of their time in London with its diverse, innovative and world class arts and theatre culture. How is the programme taught? The BA (Hons) Ballet Education (BABE) is three years full-time and delivered across two semesters each year. Modules are an integration of practical and theoretical study. At Level 4 you will spend most of your time in classes, repertoire workshops, choreographic workshops, lectures, seminars and field trips. At Level 5 and 6 the amount of independent study increases, as does the number of hours spent off-site on teaching placements. You will also receive the support of regular one-to-one tutorials throughout the duration of the programme.

Melissa Willis BA (Hons) Ballet Education Enrolling onto the programme was one of the best decisions I have made. Not only do you learn about teaching but you also have the opportunity to improve on your own dance training and choreography. Experiencing placements in a range of sectors including public, private and community dance establishments has broadened my knowledge and been vital in learning about the demands and differences between them. The knowledge and guidance I have gained from the programme has helped me improve as a teacher and given me the skills and confidence I need to start my own successful dance school in the future.

“ What I enjoy most about the programme is how practical it is.” Jessica Whitehead

For those who hold, or are completing, a dance degree, this programme offers the opportunity to specialise in the work of the Royal Academy of Dance. Graduates from this programme will have passed the RAD Advanced 2 examination and are unique in being able to use the initials ‘LRAD’ after their names. You will complete three modules which increase in the level of demand from a basic knowledge and understanding of RAD syllabi and its use in teaching, to a critical appreciation of current issues in ballet education and training. The programme involves intensive practical study supported by lectures, presentations, peer teaching and seminars, but does not include practical teaching placements. For this reason, you will need to have some previous ballet teaching experience. * Please note that this programme is currently under review for 2015. For up to date information please contact Registry on faculty@rad.org.uk

Jessica Whitehead Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Dance Studying for the LRAD provides a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the RAD Syllabi. What I enjoy most about the programme is how practical it is. Although there is a certain amount of theoretical writing and analysis, the syllabi is taught and learnt through physical embodiment of the settings, allowing for a greater understanding of the set work to be achieved. The LRAD programme also opens the door to other future career prospects, such as further academic study and I am hoping to freelance in London before going abroad to continue my teaching practice.

“ The PGCE year is intense but it has given me the confidence to take on challenges and push limits. I knew that the RAD was the place for me and I didn’t want to go anywhere else!” Ellie Collinge

Ellie Collinge Postgraduate Certificate in Education: Dance Teaching I chose to complete my PGCE at the RAD to ensure I was able to gain the most high quality training whilst joining a network of the UKs leading dance practitioners. I have not been disappointed! I have been challenged, inspired and supported by a range of mentors at the RAD, and the placements I completed were extremely varied and offered realistic insight to the demands of teaching, whilst enabling me to take control of students learning and be responsible for their educational experience. I have exited the programme an extremely rounded and versatile dance teacher and have since gained a job as a Head of Dance at an Academy in London.

In July, students attend an Intensive Study Period (minimum duration four weeks) which comprises practical sessions, lectures, seminars, a summer teaching project, discussion groups and tutorials. In the final module, students undertake a teaching placement in a dance school/teaching context of their choice where they are supported by a mentor and practical teaching supervisor.

Emma Layne Professional Dancers’ Postgraduate Teaching Certificate The programme kick-started my career! I completed my dance training in London and had various engagements with professional dance companies across Europe before starting the programme in 2013. It offered an exciting opportunity for flexible study from home and the four week ISP at the Deutsche Oper was the most exciting, challenging and inspiring part of the programme. A year on, I have moved to Berlin; and am living an incredibly busy and exciting life; dancing freelance and teaching ballet classes (in English, and soon in German!). There will also be RAD classes to come following summer! Follow us on twitter @RADheadquarters Find us on Facebook RoyalAcademyofDance

PROGRAMME Detail

Professional Dancers’ Postgraduate Teaching Certificate (Berlin) Programme breakdown Dance teaching in context (15 credits) This module provides a bridge between performance and pedagogy for professional dancers. It locates their own experience of dance education and training in context and engages them in a critical appraisal of the dance teaching profession. Students gain systematic knowledge of the wide range of environments in which dance teaching takes place, regionally, nationally and internationally. The module also covers the expectations and requirements of professional dance teachers, their roles and responsibilities, and current employment opportunities. Learning and Teaching (15 credits) The critical examination of different teaching and learning theories forms the core of this module and the basis for planning effective teaching. Students gain systematic knowledge and understanding of a range of teaching and learning strategies with a focus on inclusive practice, resource-based teaching and assessment for learning. Key differences between vocational training and broader educational perspectives are also investigated, enabling dancers to reflect critically on their own dance background and adapt their teaching to a specified context. Ballet and Contemporary Dance: histories, techniques and training systems (15 credits) In this module, students engage in a critical evaluation of studio-based practices and theoretical discourses in dance, with a focus on ballet and selected contemporary techniques. The module draws on the dancers’ professional experience to reflect and critically engage with the historical development of dance performance and associated dance training systems as developed by key individuals and organisations. Through a combination of practical and theoretical onsite study, a summer teaching project, and supported by a blended distance learning component, students investigate key differences in ballet vocabulary, technique and terminology and work towards developing their own personalised pedagogical approach, rooted in critical evaluation.

52 Royal Academy of Dance Prospectus 2015/16

Teaching Placement (15 credits) This final module allows students to integrate learning from previous modules and undertake a supervised teaching placement in a dance teaching context of their choice. Through the teaching placement, students gain practical experience in planning effective classes, managing the learning environment and providing a positive dance experience for all learners. Involvement in additional administrative duties, parents’ days, school performances and other events is encouraged and students keep a reflective journal to record their progress as trainee teachers. The placement involves support from a mentor and practical teaching supervisor who provide regular feedback, encouragement and support. Employment prospects Graduates are well placed to work in the private (vocational) dance sector and in educational contexts across Europe or to enrol for further study at postgraduate level. The programme includes study of the syllabi and examinations of the RAD, so that graduates are eligible for Registered Teacher Status. This will allow them to enter students for RAD ballet examinations.

Assessment mode Modules are assessed through a range of written and practical tasks including reflective journals, lesson plans, reports, peer teaching, Power Point presentations and essays. The teaching placement is assessed through a practical teaching examination followed by a viva voce – critical reflection and discussion on the class examined.

Entry requirements We welcome applications from dancers with significant professional experience in dance and advanced technical proficiency in ballet or contemporary. Applicants will also need to demonstrate their potential to study at postgraduate level, which will be determined as part of the selection process through the personal statement, reference and interview. Appropriate English Language Proficiency test for students whose first language is not English. Award Successful completion of the programme leads to the award of Professional Dancers’ Postgraduate Teaching Certificate and eligibility for registration as dance teachers with the RAD. Further study and career development PDPTC graduates may apply to transfer to the Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching), providing they meet the English Language requirements and successfully complete an Access module. PDPTC graduates may also apply to transfer to the Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching), providing they meet the English language requirements and successfully complete an online postgraduate study skills course. PDPTC graduates who meet these requirements will be exempt from 60 credits of the Masters’ degree. More Information www.rad.org.uk/pdptc Validated by

The Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching) allows you to further your knowledge and expertise through research in your own practice. We are one of the first organisations to offer an award at this level, specifically designed for practicing dance teachers. As an experienced dance teacher, the programme offers you an opportunity to engage in: • continuing professional development through completing a higher degree • postgraduate research based on your own professional practice • career progression which puts you at the forefront of dance education and practice-based research. The Masters focuses specifically on your role as a teacher, allowing you to learn, reflect on your teaching and develop original practices. You will learn from experts and have access to an international community of practitioner researchers. The principle of a Masters level qualified teaching profession is supported by the Universities’ Council for the Education of Teachers report, Masters in Teaching and Learning: Making it work (UCET 2008).

“ The Masters programme seemed the perfect opportunity for me to work with professionals who would help guide and question my understanding as a teacher and choreographer whilst utilising and amalgamating both parts of my professional practice.” Christopher Reynolds

Christopher Reynolds Master of Teaching (Dance)

How is the programme taught? This modular programme is delivered via distance learning, normally over two or three years with a compulsory Londonbased seminar at the start of the programme. All students complete three compulsory modules and three module options. Students who hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a Level 7 qualification such as a PGCE can apply for exemption from a maximum of 60 credits.

I decided to study a Masters as I was ready to develop my knowledge and understanding of teaching dance – having been teaching at the Arts Educational Schools, London and performing professionally. What fascinates me is teaching contact improvisation and choreography and how students learn. The programme seemed the perfect opportunity for me to work with professionals who would help guide and question my understandings as a teacher and choreographer whilst utilising and amalgamating both parts of my professional practice. As the programme is distance learning, this also sits well in my day to day teaching and performances, making the Masters a true reflection of my own professional practice.

PROGRAMME Detail

Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching) Programme breakdown You must complete three compulsory modules: Research Methods (15 credits) This module introduces a range of education research models, paradigms and approaches for practice-based research and will equip you with an understanding of research design, data collection and ethics. It also provides a platform for all other modules on the programme and a foundation for your final Research Project. Dance, Education and Culture (15 credits) This provides an opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding of dance as a cultural practice, including the theatrical art form. The reading materials and tasks focus on developing critical thinking through study of key cultural theories and their application. The essay assignment allows you to draw on selected concepts and critical frameworks and to evaluate their potential application to your own professional practice. Research Project (60 credits) This module comprises the design and delivery of an extended work-based research assignment. The precise nature of the research will be determined by a number of factors, including the needs of the school/work environment, the dance curriculum, and the knowledge and skills of the researcher. You will be guided in identifying a research proposal by the module tutor and be supported via distance learning throughout the research process. Students undertake module options to the value of 90 credits (or 30 credits for holders of PGCE and QTS or international equivalent).

Entry requirements A good honours degree in dance or with a significant dance component. You should hold a recognised dance teaching qualification and be employed as a dance teacher for the duration of the programme.

An English Language Proficiency test for applicants whose first language is not English.

Employment prospects Most students on the programme are already in employment on either a full or part-time basis, Masters qualifications can, however, lead to increased employment opportunities and support applications for promotion. Tutoring and Assessment For all modules you will have an assigned tutor who will guide you towards your assessment. Learning is flexible in that you study from home during hours which suit your employment and personal commitments. Tutors communicate with students via email, telephone, Skype and online forums. Modules are assessed through essays, case studies, portfolios, practical teaching, presentations and small-scale research projects. The final research project requires submission of a dissertation.

Successful applicants with a PGCE and QTS or international equivalent will be accredited for 60 credits at M Level, and will be required to complete the remaining 120 credits for the Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching) award.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) We are committed to lifelong learning and the RAD Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme is a reflection of our formal commitment to this. Our scheme is designed to meet your individual circumstances; activities are offered worldwide with structured, innovative and progressive opportunities to continue your development. Each activity is designed to enhance your skills, extend your knowledge and widen your career opportunities. CPD activities include practical face-to-face workshops and online learning. Face-toface workshops give you the chance to deepen your understanding of a specific topic and to network with other dance teachers so you can share ideas and experience. We also offer a suite of highly interactive e-learning activities. Our eCPD learning has been exclusively designed for dance professionals. It is rich in graphics and audio-visual content which blends a variety of question-types and discussion forums to ensure that you are at the forefront of developments in dance teaching. This means that you can take part in CPD from wherever suits you. When you graduate and become a dance teacher with the RAD, you will often work on a part-time or freelance basis, so you need to ensure that you are at the top of your game and taking advantage of new developments and initiatives, in a highly competitive market. CPD will show potential employers that you are

a committed professional ready to take on challenges of changing educational and professional requirements. No matter where you are in the world, how you like to learn, whether you are at Certificate or Masters level, the RAD CPD scheme will support you in your on-going development and further career progression. Dance for Lifelong Wellbeing The RADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to lifelong learning and to providing high quality, workplace relevant CPD came together in an innovative research project in 2013, supported by a grant from the Community Learning Innovation Fund, and continued with funding from Wandsworth Council Life Long Learning fund in 2014. This project provided opportunities for older adults, who would not normally get an opportunity to dance, to participate in tailored classes. The RAD believes that dance is not just for children and young adults and that people of all ages can enjoy, and benefit from, participation in this art form. Our oldest learner on the Dance for Lifelong Wellbeing project was 102, so dance can form a part of lifelong learning.

www.rad.org.uk/study

of regular practice, reflection, and study on working with older learners, our project teachers are themselves now empowered to deliver CPD on this topic and to contribute to workforce development in relation to this rapidly growing area of work. In 2014, our project teachers were given the opportunity to deliver classes across South West London, lead CPD courses in both the UK and Australia and contribute to the development of module materials in the area of adult dance practice on FoE programmes. Alongside the provision of lifelong learning for seniors and CPD for dance teachers, this project also engaged in research to explore the benefits of dance for older learners and to prepare guidance on best practices for dance teachers. The outcomes of this research are shared in the Dance for Lifelong Wellbeing project report. There are a limited number of hard copies available and it can also be downloaded as a PDF from www.rad.org.uk/more/ dance-for-lifelong-wellbeing

An integral element of the initial project was the provision of training and mentoring for the six teachers who volunteered hours of their time to lead the specialist classes. Our project teachers took part in an intensive two-day seminar on dance practice with older learners. Once they were on placement they received regular mentoring visits from FoE staff.

Q A

Graduate

www.rad.org.uk/study

Are you considering training for a career in dance teaching but need some advice about life after graduation? Our panel of RAD graduates answer some frequently asked questions from students about issues facing new dance teachers and getting your career off the ground.

Graduate Panel

Kirsty Pritchard: Graduate BA (Hons) Ballet Education

Michelle Nicholls: Graduate BA (Hons) Ballet Education, LRAD

After training professionally at The Royal Ballet School and Northern Ballet I joined the BA (Hons) in Ballet Education. Since graduating in 2011 I have taught in various locations throughout London. The programme enables versatility and consequently I currently teach the RAD syllabus up to Advanced 2, Cecchetti Standards and the in-house syllabus at Central School of Ballet.

After graduating from the BA (Hons) Ballet Education and completing the LRAD programme I went straight into performing in Germany and New York. I then set up my own company ‘Precision School of Ballet’ in 2012 which over the last three years has grown to just under 250 students with a 100% pass rate in all RAD exams and students from ages 8 – 16+ being accepted into top London vocational schools.

As a freelance dance teacher, how many jobs can I take on at once? Kirsty: I have worked for five schools simultaneously and found that to be slightly tricky in terms of managing different requirements and the individual expectations bosses have. I would say three schools over a six day week is comfortable. You may find that certain schools can offer you a day’s work but only for minimal hours. Consequently you may have to do two schools in one day to ensure you earn enough to pay the bills! Always factor in travel – your classes may conclude at a reasonable hour but it might take over an hour to get home. How do you extend your networking opportunities? Kirsty: Maintain the friendships you make at the RAD! The dance world is surprisingly small, your friends will get jobs and their bosses will know your bosses and then you might be asked to cover classes etc, it rolls on organically. With the CPD programme you will also meet a whole range of people so don’t be shy when practicing CPR on your first aid course to ask them about their school or where they teach.

Lucy Harley: Graduate BA (Hons) Ballet Education, RAD RTD ARAD LRAD Since graduating from the BA (Hons) Ballet Education and LRAD programmes, I have spent the last year teaching for multiple schools in South London and exam coaching and choreographing for performances.

“ Organisation is probably a ballet teacher’s greatest asset.”

What advice would you give about managing your work-life balance? Lucy: A ballet teacher’s timetable is extremely demanding both mentally and physically and that’s not including any additional employment to make hours up to full time! It is really important to schedule some time off during the week for down time. This doesn’t mean using the time for lesson plans, exam entries or uniform orders! The school holidays can prove to be a difficult time financially and often teachers end up working at summer schools or in temporary employment. Where possible try to take some time out to recuperate before the following term. What are your top tips for time management? Lucy: Organisation is probably a ballet teacher’s greatest asset when it comes to juggling work and home commitments. Starting out, the first year can seem quite daunting. You have new bosses to impress, new venues, new classes, hundreds of children to win over, not to mention all their names to learn! Being organised and focused is key to a smooth work life. As the year progresses everything gets easier and things start to become second nature. I found

Is it likely that I might get a teaching position in a vocational dance school? Lucy: I think as a newly qualified teacher it is very easy for employers to just give you young children’s classes, expecting that you don’t have the experience to teach vocational grades let alone in a vocational school. But, anything is possible! Unless you apply for these positions you will never know. The worst that can happen is they don’t offer you the job! Lots of vocational schools look for professional performance experience, but if you have passion for what you do and are committed to the development of others then you should stand a chance. How do I go about this? Kirsty: I got my job at the Central School of Ballet Junior School simply by applying and auditioning – so keep your eyes peeled for job advertisements. Before graduating I also did teacher training with the ballet mistress of Northern Ballet which helped to establish a line of communication for further teaching opportunities. Be prepared to volunteer so that you get the chance to prove your worth.

How can I continue to develop/upgrade my skills as a dance teacher? What other services or classes could I offer? Lucy: Ballet and fitness fit very well together. Some ballet teachers incorporate pilates or conditioning classes into their timetable so these qualifications can be quite beneficial. I think it is important to keep things fresh; it is very easy to get stuck on syllabus work, but offering repertoire workshops and non-syllabus classes can be fun for both you and the students. The RAD’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme is a great way to ensure you are at the forefront of dance education and training and have the most up to date knowledge and skills. Is there anything that you would like to have known before you started your career? Lucy: After my first two weeks as a ballet teacher I thought to myself ‘oh my goodness, I have made a huge mistake, this isn’t the career for me’. Having said that, I soon realised how pleasurable and rewarding this job can be. It is so great to be doing something you so dearly love as your job. Not many people can say that!

“ Setting up my own school is the best and most enjoyable thing I have ever done.” that categorising my classes saved me a lot of time. For example, if I had four Primary exam classes a week then I would make one lesson plan and focus on the same thing in all the classes, with slight adaptations for individual needs. This made teaching more efficient and meant lesson planning did not take as long. The more experienced you get, the quicker planning becomes; you know what to look for, how long exercises will take and have past experiences to draw upon.

How do I go about opening my own dance school? Michelle: Setting up my own school in 2012 is the best and most enjoyable thing I have ever done. From experience, the most important factors in the initiation of any dance school are firstly, location, transport links, security of the building, researching the vicinity for another RAD dance organisation. You then need to consider how will you advertise, what is your budget and time frame for starting the classes, what kind of school you want to have whether teaching vocational or amateur students, what other dance styles can you provide, how long should a lesson be and your pricing of lessons against the hire price of the studio.

Offers will be made to applicants with the highest academic and professional potential.

Age Teaching qualifications offered by the RAD are of UK higher education standard.
