The School
Dance Point Academy is committed to creating a fun, creative and supportive environment that helps students of all ages feel welcome and in turn allows them to explore the magic and beauty of dance.
We offer a wide range of classes ensuring there is something for everyone, whether coming for fun, for exercise or to pursue a career in dance.
During the year there is the chance to participate in either a performance or RAD exams. We do not however force any child to enter exams or perform if they don't wish to.
Dance Point Academy moreover is an international environment, due to the wide variety of nationalities of our students as we offer the opportunity of lessons in English language with a mother-tongue teacher.
The Royal Academy of Dance is one of the world’s most influential dance education and training organisations.
We promote knowledge, understanding and practice of dance internationally. We seek to accomplish this through promoting dance, educating and training students and teachers and providing examinations to set standards and reward achievement.
We aim to be recognised internationally for the highest standards of teaching and learning, as a leader in continuing professional development in dance and as the professional membership body that supports and promotes dance teachers at every step of their career encouraging their innovative contributions to dance and education throughout the world.
The RAD has a long history of improving dance training standards. It was founded in 1920 to re-invigorate dance teaching within the UK; however, over time it has expanded its influence and activities internationally counting currently more than 1,000 students in full-time or part-time teacher training programmes. With our examination syllabus being taught to more than a quarter of a million students worldwide, we help and encourage our teachers to perfect their teaching skills and pass on this knowledge to their students.
Today the RAD has a presence in 79 countries, with 36 offices and approximately 13,000 members worldwide.
