Miss Natalie's London Adventure
RAD Member's Day 2025
Earlier this month, Miss Natalie attended RAD Member’s Day 2025 in London — a day full of inspiration, connection, and fresh ideas. Highlights included engaging workshops (character dance was a standout), talks on dancer health, AI’s role in dance education, and a preview of two new RAD creative syllabi.
Miss Natalie reflected:
“The BRB2 coaching session with Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Lachlan Monaghan and Alisa Gargavenko was the highlight — a powerful look at professional coaching and artistry that left me inspired!” 🌟
✨ Class Spotlight
ACRO DANCE
One of our newest classes - Acrobatic Arts: Acro Dance - is going strong!
