RAD Programme | The Dance Centre Peregian Springs

Royal Academy of Dance Program

Pre-Primary to Solo Seal

The Dance Centre Peregian Springs, as a member of The Royal Academy of Dance, offers an internationally recognised portfolio of examinations and assessments designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities, outlining a progressive structure for learning and achievement.

Recreational students who have started with our Tiny Toes Program can move up through the first Graded levels (Pre-Primary in Dance and Primary in Dance), and then into eight further Graded levels or six Vocational Graded levels. Recreational students may move from the Graded pathway to the Vocational Graded pathway at an appropriate moment or they may study both pathways simultaneously.
