Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Exam Highlights

Our students who participated in this year's Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations will soon be receiving their official certificates and results. We're proud of the dedication each dancer put into preparing for their exams. Congraulations, students! We look forward to celebrating your accomplishments as the certificates arrive. Thank you for your hard work!

Each year, Ballet Kukan Academy students have the opportunity to participate in Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations as part of their ballet training. RAD exams encourage students to develop strong technique, musicality, confidence, and a deeper understanding of classical ballet. We are proud of the effort our students showed while preparing for their exams and look forward to celebrating their achievements.

Coming up at Ballet Kukan Academy!

Our three-month K-Pop Mini Session begins soon and is a great opportunity for students ages 7–12 to explore a new dance style in a fun, supportive environment. Over 12 weekly classes, dancers will learn choreography inspired by popular K-pop artists while building coordination, musicality, and confidence. Space is limited, so we encourage families to register early if they're interested in joining.
