Ballet Examinations

Students at The Metropolitan School of Dance may be entered for both Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Irish Board of Dance Performance examinations.

While examinations are not compulsory, they are encouraged as they help students build confidence, improve technique, and work towards personal goals in a positive and supportive environment.
