UKTheatreSchool & RAD Ballet

At UKTheatreSchool Performing Arts Academy we teach RAD Ballet classes for our Junior, Middle & Senior School Students.

We believe Ballet is the core of all dance and this course will introduce students to the theatrical dance of Classical Ballet. Taught by professional dancers based on the syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) in London www.rad.org.uk the course will teach ballet technique through the study of stylised movements and positions and it will also provide a solid foundation for students who wish to continue their dancing ability to a higher level.

All students wishing to go to college or further education performing arts academies or conservatoires should ensure they attend at least a weekly technique class in ballet as this is expected within all or most performing arts schools.
