RAD United Kingdom - Home
Empowering People Through Dance
RAD is an independent educational charity with no government funding. Every penny we make goes back into the work we do which includes our cultural engagement plans with our diverse communities. Sadly the loss of income from our day to day activity as a result of Covid 19 has caused a major funding gap of £1M in the UK alone and we need your help.

Clearing opens on Monday 6 July 2020 and is an ideal way to secure a place at the RAD this September if you’re applying late, slightly missed your requirements elsewhere, or if you’ve changed your mind on where you’d like to study.
