Royal Academy of Dance

This is the new RAD headquarters building. It has a cafe, dancewear shop and beautiful dance studios. The reception staff were very friendly and looked after us when we took our ballet exam. I understand the classes here are some of the best around.

We were there as part of a very poorly organised event with the Wandsworth arts fringe festival. We weren't given clear instructions on the entrances/ exits we should use. No info on changing and toileting facilities bearing in mind we were there with children aged 3-13. Booked tickets holders weren't confirmed and people missed the shows. We weren't given enough passes to get around the building. Showa were running behind schedule. But from what I saw it was a lovely building and one of the performers Pointe Black ballet were amazing and should definitely be checked out. A ballet school for black and brown children and what a show they put on for the windrush celebration

Attended for an adult ballet class for the vocational syllabus. Amazing new building with professional facilities, including Harlequin flooring. Top class teaching in the english style. Within walking distance from Clapham Junction train station. The RAD website says about 8 min walk, better to allow 15mins

My twin niece recently had a remarkable performance at the academy, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture any pictures of it. Nonetheless, her performance left me in awe, and I found it to be incredibly impressive. The choreography was executed flawlessly, and it even brought a tear to my eye. The royal academy itself is impeccably clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. They even have a charming little shop that sells ballet clothes. For a brief moment, I couldn't help but imagine myself as a ballerina.

Visited the Royal Academy of Dance for a The Sleeping Beauty Adult Repertoire Intensive. Had a great experience spending both days there. Staff are friendly and the changing area and toilets are very clean. The studios and dance spaces are perfect for workshops and barre. Would definitely visit again and recommend.

Was at Royal Academy of Dance for the Wandsworth Fringe. Lovely location. The seating in the hall we were in was comfortable and the tiering of the seating was excellent, the heads of guests in front were not in line of view.

Easy to get to the location by bus or train from Victoria. The bus journey felt quicker, as the bus drops you right outside and there is a lot less walking.

I had terrible experience to order items from RAD. I made the order on 30 Jan from Ireland, until end of Feb I received nothing, after a spend a lot of time to ask RAD providing update, they confirmed package lost, they will send another one, I was waiting and waiting and waiting, after one week nothing happened, I asked again, eventually, they sent new packages and in same time, they told me the bag I ordered is discontinued, refunded the bag cost to me, and send 2 x ankle warmers. So I spent 24.61 pounds and waited 6 weeks for 2 ankle warmers. When I sent email to ask them cancel the order, it has no point to send 2 ankle warmers. They blocked my email address!!!! Yes, they are blocked my email, I never used any bad language to communicate with them, but they blocked me. I received 2 ankle warmers yesterday with 2.5 euro import charge. I double checked the RAD website, the bag they told me discontinued still able to make order without any issue. I know I'm only one of the customers for you, you don't care and block me, that's fine, I won't be ordered anything from you again. I'm not sure how it does in UK, If you try to order from EU, forget about it, you can find a thousand EU shops with good price. RAD not only changes high cost of shipping and also charge UK tax for someone ordered from EU. Avoid this shop.
