And thank you to your Parents! | Why Choose an Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Program If you are looking for a Ballet program that offers learning along with fun and a feeling of accomplishment; the RAD Ballet problam is perfect. The RAD Syllabus has been devised with great care. It progresses a dancer in stages, demanding no more of a young body that it can easily cope with. The RAD Syllabus is great fun for dancers to dance, it also helps develop co-ordination, fitness and a sense of rhythm, musicality and expression, as well as promoting self-discipline and boasting confidence. RAD Ballet is no more competitive than any other activity, and RAD examinations are simply setting goals toward which children can work. For our Dancers; examinations offer a challenge and a great sense of achievement; for Parents they give an indication of their child's progress. The RAD was founded in 1920 and has grown to become the largest training body for classical ballet in the world. The RAD Syllabus is taught in more that 70 countries, setting high standards along with a balance of making learning fun.
