Open days & auditions

  • Auditions

The best way to find out what it’s like to study at the Royal Academy of Dance and whether this is the right choice for you, is to come to one of our open days and experience it for yourself.

Our open days are fun, interactive and informative. Not only will you find out more about the programme of study you are interested in, but you will get to experience it too.
