Theatre School of Dance instructs students under the Royal
Academy of Dance system www.RADUSA.org. The RAD is an international teacher training and examining organization for classical ballet whose aim is to develop the highest possible standards of teaching. Teachers following the Royal Academy system encourage young people to achieve their personal best.

Whatever age or stage they may have reached, young people
who study under the RAD system can be confident that they
are receiving the most comprehensive, well structured and
relevant program of classical ballet available. They can be
assured that they will be taught according to safe teaching
principles and know that regular evaluation through
progressively spaced examinations is available to them.

The benefits of RAD are numerous. In preparing for the exams
students gain an awareness of their own bodies and the
capabilities for movement, expression and sensitivity, as well
as a sense of achievement which comes from mastering a
goal and moving on to the next challenge. Annual exams are
an invaluable yardstick by which the student’s progress is
measured. Above all, the syllabus is designed to be enjoyed.

If a student trains under the Royal Academy Dance method and completes all vocational levels they will be rewarded with an Associates degree from Royal Academy of Dance. They will also be trained to audition and receive scholarships for college.
