At The International Ballet School we are pleased to be able to offer all of our students the chance to gain an internationally recognised ballet certification. One which can be built upon as they develop and move on.

 

The Royal Academy of Dance or the RAD is one of the most recognised dance education organisations in the world. They have a series of exams that are seen as setting the standards for classical ballet around the world; and as such are recognised as one of the most important certifications for anyone interested in dance.
