Classical Ballet (RAD)

Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Syllabus

The Royal Academy of Dance is one of the world's most influential dance education organizations, with an emphasis on Classical Ballet.
At DancEdge Academy, we are proud to be able to provide a range of RAD classes that prepare students for the yearly RAD Examinations. Our teachers will make certain that each student goes into the exam room a poised and confident candidate.

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
PBT was designed to train muscle memory and to promote key muscle activation to achieve the best training one can receive.
All our RAD ballet classes are supplemented with PBT exercises to reinforce students' ballet foundations. We believe it is important for dancers to think about how to move, to encourage proper muscle engagement and to prevent unwanted injuries.
