Yesterday a group of our teachers met in Belfast for a great training course, looking at the psychological wellbeing of dancers so that we can better support our students in the studio; and also learning visualisation techniques to help with learning and remembering choreography. We are very grateful to our course tutor Cathy for coming over to share her knowledge with us!

A number of our teachers from across both the Republic and Northern Ireland have just completed a fantastic weekend of CPD. We want to thank Gillian from AUsome Training for helping us to understand the perspective of our ADHD students and how we can make our studios inclusive spaces for them. And a big thank you to our Artistic Director, Alexander Campbell, for sharing and inspiring ideas for creative training in the lower grade syllabi and talking to us about new and exciting things happening at the RAD!
