WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
When you have an academy like the Royal Academy of Dance which reaches out around the world and has such a high standard of teaching, finding talent and inspiring people, it’s the most natural thing for me to want to be involved in it. Darcey Bussell CBE, President, RAD
The Royal Academy of Dance provides a truly global opportunity for teachers and students to access a world class training system for ballet. From these teachers around the world the love of dance continues to be instilled in our future dancers and dance lovers. David McAllister, Artistic Director of The Australian Ballet, Vice President, RAD
The Royal Academy of Dance has been constantly valued and renewed over decades and continues to prove its worth in the world of dance training. With its many facets reaching from the graded training syllabus and examinations, to the Benesh Institute and the Genée International Ballet Competition, there can be no other organisation with the command and scope to equal it. Janek Schergen, Artistic Director, Singapore Dance Theatre
The Royal Academy of Dance syllabus instilled in me a love of ballet technique and was largely responsible for me achieving a scholarship to the Royal Ballet School as a boy of 13. Wayne Sleep, Vice President, RAD
By constantly evolving, the Royal Academy of Dance has always been at the forefront of dance education. It is a living entity, continually developing and striving to better its content and increase its influence. Throughout my career I have seen how the RAD has set the bar for excellence globally, consistently extending the opportunity for individuals to pursue dance in many spheres. Kirsten Isenberg, South African Choreographer
I don’t think I was the most focused student during my training years, but I do remember my RAD exams! Looking back, I now realise the importance of the building blocks of technique that the Royal Academy of Dance gave me, and the care and attention to detail that went into learning the syllabus, and ultimately a language of classical ballet technique. I have enjoyed a thoroughly enjoyable, lifetime association with the RAD and wish them continued success. Gary Harris, former Artistic Director, Royal New Zealand Ballet
The far-reaching work of the Royal Academy of Dance is a necessary foundation for dance training today. Many professional dancers, choreographers and teachers can trace their first introductions to dance back to the RAD. The international network that the RAD has built for its members is unique in the world of dance, providing excellent opportunities for teachers and students to share ideas and ambitions. Christopher Hampson, Artistic Director, Scottish Ballet
