LICENTIATE OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE
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.
How is the programme taught?
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.
Programme breakdown Level 4 (20 credits)
In the first year of study, you will gain basic knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to teaching ballet, focusing on the graded syllabi and young people in the initial stages of vocational training.
Level 5 (20 credits)
In your second year of study, you will increase your knowledge, understanding and skills by assessing the differing aims and requirements of the Graded and Vocational Graded syllabi and examinations.
Level 6 (20 credits)
In the final year, you consolidate and develop your learning by analysing the needs of students in the final stages of vocational training and preparing for a professional career. You are also expected to engage in current debates within the UK vocational training sector on meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse dance profession.
Delivery
The programme is delivered over three years in five week intensive periods of study, usually in May and June. During these weeks, you will be expected to study full-time and attend all timetabled sessions.
Assessment
Each module is assessed through practical examinations and short essays designed to evaluate accuracy of technical demonstration, understanding of teaching and education theory, and the ability to debate selected issues.
