The RAD at London Pride 2025

The Pride parade in London this past weekend featured 16 walkers representing the RAD.

There was a great mix of staff, freelancers, supporters, RAD members, and dance teachers. We represented, we celebrated, we united, and, of course, we danced with ribbons which we twirled all along the route – it was so joyful!

We were surrounded by other organisations and groups, with The Royal Ballet and Opera just a short way behind us. In turn, we were just behind a float playing music, which we could dance to, creating a great atmosphere.

It was amazing to see the crowd on route who knew the RAD, or were part of the RAD family, recognise us and cheer us along – we could see how important representation was to so many.

Huge thanks to everyone who took part and supported us!
