Royal Academy of Dance

Etudes de Ballet continues to offer Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations for those dancers and instructors wishing to take the exams.

The Royal Academy of Dance is the largest, most influential teacher training and examining body for classical ballet in the world. Their syllabus is taught in over 70 countries in the world, setting high standards of dance training for over 250,000 students each year.

Last year Etudes had over 40 dancers take the exams, and they expect more this year. Dancers take the exams to attain their personal best, to have a goal to work towards, and to receive recognition from the world's largest examining body. Students can only be entered for an RAD exam by qualified teachers who hold Academy Registered Teachers Status.

Etudes is still accepting dancers into its new fall schedule which includes 8 different levels of ballet instruction in addition to 4 different levels of preballet age 3 - 6. Appointments for placement evaluation, and questions on the RAD program can be answered, by calling Etudes de Ballet at 239-593-8280.
