Taught by a highly experienced and respected RAD teacher and accompanied by a pianist, these classes are a perfect introduction to movement and dance and provide a good springboard into the RAD Pre School curriculum. The classes are designed to improve the children’s confidence and co-ordination and develop their social skills.

RAD Graded Ballet (Grades 1–8)
The Graded Examinations in Dance Syllabus consists of three dance disciplines:
Ballet - the foundation and the most important part of the syllabus
Free Movement - it has been influenced by and incorporates movements in common with other dance styles such as Natural Movement, Contemporary and Classical Greek Dance
Character - the theatrical presentation of national dance using original ethnic dance and music which has been freely adapted for the theatre. The three styles — Hungarian, Russian and Polish — were selected because of their historic importance in the development of the nineteenth century full-length classical ballets.
Solo Performance Award (Grades 1–5)
In addition to an Examination at each level, the RAD has also recently introduced an optional Solo Performance
Award. This is an excellent opportunity for students to present three dances to an RAD Examiner and students will be individually assessed on technique, musicality, performance and recall. A great benefit of taking a Solo
Performance Award is that students will be able to treat this like a performance. Students also have the option of enhancing their uniform for any of the dances to make simple costumes. Students can only join this class at the start of a term and they must have already taken an exam in the corresponding exam level of the Solo
Performance Award class. This class runs for one term only and the Award is taken towards the end of the term.

The RAD offers first-rate teaching with excellent results year on year. Our GCSE, GCE AS and A2 dance courses equip students with the skills and knowledge to enable them to progress to further dance studies.
Students attending the Academy benefit from its strong links with the professional dance industry and other academic institutions through professional dance workshops and tutorials. Former students have gone on to study dance-related subjects at Higher Education or to develop their careers in teaching, choreography, performance and dance administration.
“Thank you RAD for an exceptional standard of teaching and such an enjoyable two years!”

The RAD Dance School is an Approved Examination Centre and offers male and female students of all ages the opportunity to prepare and enter for a range of examinations and assessments which are internationally recognised and accredited on the Qualifications and Credit Framework.
The examinations and assessments provide students with achievable goals to work towards, recognition from the world’s largest ballet examination board, qualifications that are fully accredited by the UK regulatory authorities and the impetus to achieve their personal best in a fun and nurturing environment
Students may start with the Dance to Your Own Tune curriculum, move up through Pre-Primary and
Primary in Dance levels and then on to eight Graded levels or six Vocational Graded levels. Students may move from Graded to Vocational classes at an appropriate time; or they may study both levels simultaneously.
From 2012 candidates who have achieved a Pass or higher at Grades 6-8, Intermediate or Advanced
Foundation can use their exam result to count towards their UCAS points tariff when applying to a university or Higher Education institution in the UK.
Students will be notified prior to the start of their exam term if their teacher intends to enter them for an
RAD examination. These letters will provide information about the Examination, Class Award, Presentation or Demonstration Class and payment details.
Please note that it is imperative for students entered for an examination to have 100% attendance in the run up to the exams and in some instances, it is also necessary for students to attend a series of extra exam classes.
For more information on the examination entry process, please contact:
Dance School Administrator: 020 7326 8043 / kdale@rad.org.uk
