Royal Academy of Dance Teaching Method

• The RAD method is a ballet technique unique to the Royal Academy of Dance organization.
• The syllabus has been devised with great care, considering the child’s development in each level to make sure it is a safe training method.
• “The most identifiable aspect of the RAD teaching method is the attention to detail when learning the basic technique of ballet and the progression in difficulty is often slow. The principle behind this is that enough time is spent achieving optical technique before introducing new vocabulary, the easier it is for the student to learn the harder steps, whilst exercising basic technique to the maximum.”
