RAD Teacher Awards 2024

The RAD Teacher Awards will honour the contribution and commitment to dance teaching made by RAD teachers around the world.

For the purpose of these Awards, the term ‘RAD teacher’ refers to those who are actively teaching, and includes RAD Registered Teachers, Life Registered Teachers and Silver Swans Licensees. It does not refer to the following categories: RAD Teacher (Inactive), Life Teacher, Life RAD Member Plus, RAD Member Plus, RAD Member or FoE Student Member.

When completing the nomination form, nominators should refer to the nomination guidelines and criteria for each category. Nominations will be judged on how each of the criterion is evidenced in the supporting statement. Nominations may be made for the same RAD Registered Teacher or Silver Swans Licensee across multiple categories. Nominations close 31 December 2023 at Midnight GMT.
