Such an important reminder! 💖

"Your light does not come
from your successes.

Your light is not ignited
by perfection,
or achievement or body shape.

Your light is not fuelled by
popularity or acceptance.

Neither is your light at any
risk of being put out,
when other lights around you,
are bright.

Your light is simply made of the
you-ness that makes you you,
the worries you have in the night,
the music which sparks your joy,
the books you had to read twice,
the memories stored safely
in your heart,
the people you love and the
people who love you.

Your light is never dependant
on how you look,
or how you perform.

It’s just there,
and it’s quite simply brilliant,
and it’s all yours.

And it lights up every room
you walk into,
whether you activate it or not.
What a wonderful thing.

Shine bright little fighter,
this dark world needs your glow."

ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE

At the dawn of the 20th century, a renaissance came to British ballet. A significant part of that was when dancer/choreographer Edouard Espinosa, and Philip Richardson, editor of the new Dancing Times, campaigned for standards of teaching to be established so that dancers trained in Britain would be equal to their overseas colleagues. They enlisted the support of émigré dance stars and teachers and drew on the finest schools of dance to form the organisation now known as the Royal Academy of Dance, to fulfil the needs and support the 20th century British Ballet companies and dancers.

Just over a century later, and now with a presence in 85 countries, we are still just as passionate about quality dance education, and are dedicated to ensuring that every body has a quality dance experience. Find an RAD Teacher on our Register of Teachers: https://bit.ly/3PLfgh7
