ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE
At the dawn of the 20th century, a renaissance came to British ballet. A significant part of that was when dancer/choreographer Edouard Espinosa, and Philip Richardson, editor of the new Dancing Times, campaigned for standards of teaching to be established so that dancers trained in Britain would be equal to their overseas colleagues. They enlisted the support of émigré dance stars and teachers and drew on the finest schools of dance to form the organisation now known as the Royal Academy of Dance, to fulfil the needs and support the 20th century British Ballet companies and dancers.
Just over a century later, and now with a presence in 85 countries, we are still just as passionate about quality dance education, and are dedicated to ensuring that every body has a quality dance experience. Find an RAD Teacher on our Register of Teachers: https://bit.ly/3PLfgh7
