Sounds like adults in RAD Graded/Vocational classes are more prevalent than I surmised. Thank you for the insight, I'm accumulating the courage to try it with each narrative of people's experiences. Once a week in RAD HQ leading up to an exam is convincing and I will give it serious thought. Just need my hubby to agree to the idea . Thanks again for your help.

Fantastic! You've given me hope, thank you. I will start asking around.

Many thanks for the responses to my query, much appreciated. I am relatively close to Sutton, which is where I’d take a train if I want to get to London quick, but still find London too far for regular classes. I am hoping to do Intermediate Foundation, but I guess that is for the teacher to advise if I am at the standard required. Assuming I am up to scratch for this exam, would local ballet schools let me join the children’s classes at this level, given I’ll probably be a generation or two older? Thanks again for your help!

Hi, very new to this forum (or any forum for that matter) so apologies in advance for a possibly unconventional post. I see a lot of adults have gone in and done RAD ballet exams, which is great as I have been considering taking an exam for the past year. Most of the ballet schools in my area that I am aware of only teach children for RAD. Some will offer the occasional Adult Intermediate open class but their website does not indicate offering RAD classes (or exams) to adults. Any suggestions on how I might be able to find a school that would be willing to take me in to do an RAD exam? I am based in Surrey, and can't travel too far due to work commitments (and a family!). Thanks much for your help.
