Our Program
Rachel’s Ballet is a unique school of dance that provides the best possible classical ballet training. In addition to classical ballet,
auxiliary classes in contemporary dance and jazz are offered.
- Member Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)
- Classes are based on the renowned Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) teaching system, the most comprehensive, relevant
program of classical ballet available. The RAD program provides a standard of learning regardless of where instruction
occurs; students who move from one country (or state) to another can enroll in a new RAD school and continue with the
same syllabus
- Each RAD syllabus is age appropriate to match the abilities of the students for that grade level
- Small class size enables instructors to provide personal attention to individual students
- Classes offer opportunities for learning and advancement through the use of annual RAD examinations. Students are
evaluated objectively by RAD examiners who travel internationally
- Annual Showcase in a professional facility provides valuable performance experience
- Rachel's Ballet staff members are RAD certified instructors with years of professional dance and teaching experience to
ensure quality instruction. One of our instructors is a RAD Certified Examiner. Please refer to our Faculty web page for
individual instructor resumes
- Classes follow the school year beginning in September and ending in June. Our school year tuition is an annual cost, not a
per class or per month cost. There are ten (10) monthly tuition installments that make up the annual tuition.
- Summer Session classes are also available. Summer session tuition is due at the time of Summer Session enrollment.
