RAD100
The Royal Academy of Dance at 100
Our centenary was an important time to recognise our roots, our achievements, our influence, and also to look to building our legacy. It was also the right time to show our gratitude to our dedicated membership and the part they have played in making the RAD the organisation, the authority, and even the family, that it has become.
From December 2020 (and running throughout 2021), as we began to resume events and activities, we told the story of the RAD, an organisation that has been teaching the world to dance for 100 years, through the stories, experiences and remarkable achievements, of our teachers, examiners and students from children through to adults and Silver Swans from around the world.
