The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Discovering Repertoire syllabus is a programme that blends classical ballet technique with the joy of performing famous repertoire. Designed for adult learners, this syllabus provides an engaging way to develop technique, musicality, and artistry while exploring well-known extracts from classical ballets such as Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Coppélia.
Unlike traditional graded exams, Discovering Repertoire allows dancers to progress at their own pace, focusing on performance as much as technical development. The programme includes units on barre, centre work, and variation study, giving students the chance to experience the artistry of ballet in a meaningful and fulfilling way.
This programme is ideal for adults who wish to enrich their ballet journey with both syllabus training and performance preparation. You will be the opportunity to take RAD examinations or assessments, recognised worldwide for their quality and standard.
Dancers should hold a minimum of an RAD Grade 5 - 8 or Intermediate Foundation certificate (or equivalent) and will need to undergo an assessment before enrolment. If you do not hold this qualification, please speak with our concierge for guidance on whether this programme is suitable for you.
