On Point: Royal Academy of Dance at 100 is a free display curated between V&A and RAD celebrating 100 years of the organisation.
It tells the story of how the academy helped shape the future of dance training and is the first time in its history that RAD has given access to its archive on such a scale.
Last year, the Duchess of Cornwall revealed that she starts the day with ballet lessons and a ‘little bit of pilates’ to keep fit during the coronavirus lockdown.
Camilla let slip her secret in a video call to mark International Dance Day with Darcey Bussell, the Royal Ballet’s former principle dancer and president of The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), and former newsreader Angela Rippon.

The Duchess revealed that she has secretly been taking ballet lessons at home with a group of friends for the last 18 months and also opened up about her and Prince Charles’ experiences of lockdown.
Camilla admitted: ‘Well it’s very peculiar. My husband is a workaholic so it’s work wherever he is. We try to do something for our charities most days.
‘We’ve got to keep active otherwise we will all seize up and we won’t be able to get out of bed in the morning. It doesn’t matter if it is ten minutes. It doesn’t matter if it is ten minutes or 20 minutes, it just starts off the day. ‘
Camilla revealed that she starts her day ‘with a bit of Silver Swans and a bit of Pilates… and a lot of walking, which I love,’ she added.
