ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE – RAD
IDA is the only school in South Florida to offer the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) instruction and formal certification under the patronage of the late Queen Elizabeth II, firmly putting IDA in a class of its own! Students from the Academy achieve excellent results with the majority receiving the highest mark of distinction for their formal examinations.
The world-recognized RAD diploma sets our pupils a step above the rest in college applications or further advancement. Dancers obtaining distinction in their final exam, Advanced II, are invited to participate in the Olympics of ballet in a city around the world representing America.
OFF TO LONDON!
CONGRATULATIONS TO PAULA, INDIE AND ELIZABETH.
IDA dancers are on their way to London to represent The United States of America in the World
Olympics of Ballet.
The prestigious Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition (formerly known as the Genee) is limited to dancers from around the world who obtained Distinction for their final RAD exam, Advanced II.
Paula Zapata, Indie Hurley and Elizabeth Haeflinger, photographed as they leave the examination room, are excited and hard at work, looking forward to their trip to London in October 2023.
They will train together with dancers (usually only 30-35 who qualify – and IDA have three!!) from 79 countries for a full week under the most celebrated choreographers and teachers in the world, perform their solos and unset classes on stage before a capacity audience and enjoy an experience of a lifetime!
International Dance Academy, founded in 2000, is located in
the Broward Lakes Business Park at 825 Shotgun Road in Weston.
