Congratulations to Our RAD Ballet Candidates!
Congratulations to all students who successfully completed their RAD Vocational Graded Examinations this July, including Intermediate Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced 2.
A special congratulations to our Advanced 2 candidates. As one of the highest levels in the RAD Vocational Graded syllabus, completing Advanced 2 represents years of dedication, technical excellence, artistry, and musicality. For most RAD students, it is a major milestone in their ballet journey.
We are incredibly proud of every student for their hard work and commitment, and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow and thrive through dance.
Upcoming Community Performance: I Have a Dream
Yi Dance is honored to once again be invited by Settlement Assistance and Family Support Services (SAFSS) to perform at the "I Have a Dream" Violence Against Women (VAW) Conference, supported by the City of Toronto, on July 22.
