Join us at RAD headquarters as we celebrate 100 years since the launch of the original children’s scholarship scheme, which ran for 60 years from 1925-1985.

RAD Artistic Director, Alexander Campbell, will be joined by a distinguished panel of former scholars, including Wayne Sleep, who will share their personal experiences. They will discuss the value of the scheme and the importance of continuing to provide young people with access to dance classes.

There will also be a short performance by some of the current RAD scholars, followed by a drinks reception. This will give attendees a chance to view the foyer display giving a historical overview of the scheme, and to reunite with fellow students and teachers.

If you are unable to attend in person, you can still register to receive the recording of this event.
