The RAD Training Pathway

Emmas coaching covers all exam levels for the RAD: Pre-Primary, Primary, Grades 1–8, Intermediate Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced Foundation, Advanced 1, Advanced 2 and Solo Seal Award.

  • Private RAD Coaching

    Individual coaching allows dancers to work intensively on the areas most relevant to their examination preparation.

    Sessions can reinforce syllabus knowledge while developing technical accuracy, musicality, presentation and confidence.

    Private coaching is particularly useful as additional preparation alongside a dancer’s regular training at their own dance school.

    RAD Coaching for Dance Schools

    Emma works directly with dance schools to provide focused RAD examination coaching in the weeks and months leading up to examination dates.

    Sessions can be arranged for any exam level, with longer coaching time advised for Vocational examinations.

    Students benefit from concentrated time to refine their work before their examination date.
