Information
RAD examinations
Royal Academy of Dance examinations are available at most levels. They are optional, and entry is by teacher recommendation.
Why students take them
An examination gives a student an external assessment of their work and a clear milestone at the end of a level. Many students find it focuses a year’s training.
Who decides
A teacher recommends entry when a student is secure in the syllabus for their level. The decision to enter is always the family’s.
How preparation works
Examination preparation happens within the normal class, with additional rehearsal closer to the date. Students who are not entering continue with the same syllabus work.
