The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is hosting an Adult Repertoire Workshop at Dunnswood Studios on Sunday, March 3, from 11am to 1.30pm.

Anyone taking part will explore the enchanting story of Swan Lake through dance, music and acting. Following a brief warm-up, participants will learn choreography from a selected scene, gaining an insight into the way in which a corps de ballet dancer studies and rehearses. The workshop will also improve both technical and performance skills.
