The Royal Academy of Dance at 100
To mark our centenary, we had planned a year-long programme of events and initiatives throughout 2020. But, with the recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, we are putting celebratory projects on hold for the benefit of our our staff, members, students, visitors and the wider community.
We hope to be able to reschedule events when the situation becomes clearer.
