BA (Hons) Ballet Education Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)

This three-year taught degree programme combines dance training with preparation for the professional world of teaching.

You will form a small, but significant group of onsite learners who work closely with specialist tutors and other staff at RAD headquarters in London.

Your student experience
The BA (Hons) Ballet Education is delivered across two semesters each year for three years. Modules integrate practical and theoretical study as well as hands-on practical teaching experience.

At Level 4, you will spend most of your time in technique classes, repertorie workshops, choreographic workshops and dance science explorations, as well as study trips, lectures and seminars.

At Levels 5 and 6, the amount of independent study increases, as does the number of hours spent off-site on teaching placements and in-depth exploration and research. You will also recieve the support of regular one-to-one tutorials throughout the duration of the programme.
