These school holidays, the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) invites students to take part in a series of ballet classes led by experienced RAD examiners with expert knowledge of the RAD syllabus.

Classes focus on syllabus coaching and provide an excellent opportunity to prepare for upcoming RAD exams, maintain fitness over the school holidays, and further refine classical ballet technique.
