Our home in London
We are proud of our new global headquarters which gives us better education and training facilities for our members, students, teachers, examiners, and staff.
These include seven brand new studios; the Aud Jebsen Studio Theatre; the Wolfson Library; and an archive housing and displaying our collection of over 75,000 dance and RAD-related objects.
The building also houses a brand new RAD shop, and a café offering somewhere to meet before or after a class – or just because you fancy popping for a coffee with a friend!
We are committed to making our new headquarters a home not just for our members, but also for our partners and our local community – in fact, for everyone.
Dance School
We offer a variety of extra-curricular dance classes for young people and adults. Whether for fun and fitness or to develop technique and skills, we provide a full timetable of classes offering something for everyone.
