Are you ready for your RAD Debut?
Calling all young people aged 11–13 in Wandsworth. Have you never taken a dance class before, or maybe you have, and it’s been a while? Well, now is your chance to step into the spotlight with the Royal Academy of Dance!
Join us from 11–15 August for an exciting free week of dance. As part of the London Borough of Culture programme, we’re running short courses across the borough—in Battersea, Putney, Wimbledon, Clapham, Balham, and Tooting—designed especially for beginners. You’ll learn the fundamentals and get moving with confidence.
Over the week, you’ll also work on a special piece called ‘Elements of Romeo and Juliet’, choreographed by Shevelle Dynott, former dancer with English National Ballet. You’ll discover how to bring characters to life through dance, movement and storytelling.
At the end of the week, all groups will come together to perform at RAD headquarters in a chance to show off everything you’ve learned and celebrate your debut.
- No experience is needed
- All abilities are welcome
- A fun and creative way to build confidence and make friends
