The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) has been teaching the world to dance for almost 100 years. We have a passionate commitment to excellence in all aspects of the teaching and learning of dance, and in particular ballet. We have an ambitious plan to develop the next generation of dancers and engage diverse communities with the well-being benefits dance brings.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the immediate needs of our communities, we have a plan to bring the benefits of dance to people digitally for at least the next 6 months. Under our new RAD@Home initiative, we are delivering a wide variety of content to keep people active and connected, and have already launched an expanding series of online classes and exercises to promote health and wellbeing to our online community, targeting new and diverse demographics.

Your generous contribution can help us to enrich the lives of so many people through the benefits of dance.
