On Point: Royal Academy of Dance at 100
The On Point display is now due to reopen on 19 May, pending government guidance.
The display, celebrating 100 years of the RAD, tells the story of how it shaped the future of dance training, the famous faces who lead the way, and how it continues to bring the joy of dance to the lives of people across the world. The RAD is home to one of the largest dance collections in Europe, and this is the first time in its history it has given access to its archive on this scale.
