Royal Academy Of Dance Ballet Examination
 
At StepUp, our Ballet Curriculum is taught in accordance to the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) requirements, which is the world's most influential dance education and training organisation. Established in 1920 and counting the late Queen Elizabeth II as her patron, the RAD Curriculum provides Ballet training and accreditation for pre-schoolers to young adults.

With presence in more than 85 countries, the annual RAD Ballet Exam is internationally recognised and students all over the world are appraised by the same RAD standards. Every year, about a quarter million students participate in the annual RAD Ballet Exams and locally, the junior and major grades Exam Tour for Singapore runs almost daily from the months of March to May. Thus, you can be assured that the RAD Curriculum is an immensely popular accreditation for both students and parents in Singapore.
