Celebrating The Fonteyn final in São Paulo, Brazil!

Every year, The Fonteyn competition brings the magic of dance to a new corner of the world, and in 2025, it travelled to Latin America for the first time.
The Fonteyn is the pinnacle for young dancers trained in the RAD syllabus, with previous medallists including the likes of Claudia Dean, Leanne Benjamin, Steven McRae and Francesca Hayward. After a week of coaching and semi-finals, the coveted gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded at The Fonteyn final, at Auditório Ibirapuera.
