Exams offer an achievable goal for students to work towards and we encourage our students to participate. The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) has set required standards within each level and candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the work to an RAD examiner from Australia or overseas. Candidates will be marked on their performance on the day.
