Change in your circumstances but still want to stay connected as a teaching member?
If you are not dance teaching and are eligible for RAD Registered Teacher status, then our membership category, RAD Teacher (inactive), could be a more suitable option for you.

This category suits FoE Graduates that are taking a break before they start dance teaching, people that are working in other sectors and no longer dance teaching, people in full-time education, not currently working, on maternity, paternity, adoption leave or retired.
