RAD Members Benefit From Discounted Rambert Grades Membership

The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Rambert Grades have announced a first-of-its kind collaboration in a three-year pilot beginning August 2022.

Rambert Grades is a progressive and inclusive contemporary dance syllabus created by two of the world’s leading contemporary dance organisations: Rambert School and Rambert company.

The collaboration will see RAD Registered Teachers exclusively in Australia enjoy discounted membership of Rambert Grades at $150 per year (40% discount on the usual fee of AU$250 approx for each year of the pilot) and access to a series of online training sessions which will see them learn to teach the Rambert Grades syllabus across three levels and 8 qualifications (Grades 1-8).

RAD Chief Executive Tim Arthur said...

"I can’t tell you how delighted I am to be entering into this collaboration with Rambert Grades. The RAD has a huge and longstanding love and appreciation for the remarkable creative vision and undeniable brilliance of Rambert. We were very proud to award Dame Marie Rambert the RAD’s Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award in 1956. Dance is fundamentally an act of creative collaboration, we’re certain that with this relationship we can create great things and at the same time bring the world of dance a little closer together."
