The next Royal Academy of Dance Presentations have been scheduled to take place in November 2005.
The fee for the presentation is £25.00 for Pre-Primary and Grade 1 pupils and £32.00 for Grade 2 and Grade 5 pupils. This fee includes the examiner, pianist, hall hire and administrative costs involved with running these presentations. Each child will receive a certificate confirming they have reached the RAD standard for this level.
If you would like your child to take part, please return the attached form together with a cheque for the fees by Friday 16 September. Unfortunately the RAD will not accept late entries, nor will it refund the entry fee for children who have entered but cannot attend the presentation. Please print your child’s forename and surname clearly on the entry form as this information will be used on the certificate.
Full details will be provided nearer the time to all those who have entered this presentation.

RAD Examinations - Autumn 2005
Dear Parents,
I would like to offer your child the opportunity to take a Royal Academy of Dance Examination in November. This is a formal graded examination as opposed to the more basic Royal Academy Presentations. Successful candidates will receive a certificate bearing their name and their level of achievement.
If your child would like to be entered for the RAD Examination they will need to attend a coaching class each Monday from 6.15 – 7.00pm. The cost of these extra classes will be £20.00.
Please speak to Angela Smith, our Administrator, if you would like your child to be booked onto this course and be entered for the examination in November.
