The RAD is one of the world’s most influential dance education and training organisations. With its global headquarters in London, the RAD works locally and around the world to bring dance to diverse communities, widen access to dance and share the benefits and wellbeing that dance brings. With a strong global membership presence in over 85 countries, each year around 250,000 dancers learn the RAD syllabus and take exams. Over 1,000 students are enrolled in in-person and distance-learning dance teacher training programmes. The RAD empowers people through dance education and enjoyment and believes that ‘every body’ should have the opportunity to learn to dance.

We have three theatres in London – Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Lilian Baylis Studio and Peacock Theatre – and present dance online on Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage. We also tour productions nationally and internationally. In 2023 we’re opening a fourth venue in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This new space will house a 550-seat mid-scale theatre, as well as facilities for a choreographic centre and a hip hop theatre academy.

The UK's only conservatoire of music and contemporary dance.
