Royal Academy of Dance

South Africa

The Royal Academy of Dance is an examination board founded in London in 1920, when a group of teachers representing the competing national methods blended them into what is now the English style. It is active in over eighty countries, with a South African office in Johannesburg that administers exams locally. Its grade ladder runs from Pre-Primary and Primary through Grades 1 to 8 to a vocational track, and its teachers earn Registered Teacher Status through the Academy.
