Join us for a week of classes focusing on ballet technique and repertoire.

You’ll immerse yourself in an inspiring week of classes that will elevate your technique and deepen your understanding. Throughout the course, you’ll master a piece of repertoire, guided by expert faculty and enriched by the magic of live piano accompaniment.

The RAD courses for Silver Swans are the happiest of all happy places—for me and my fellow Swans. The teachers are unfailingly patient, and the whole RAD environment is a joy.
