RAD DANCE STUDIO IS A COMMUNITY OF CARING INSTRUCTORS WHO GUIDE YOUTH TO LEARN, EXPLORE, & CREATE THROUGH DANCE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. YOU BELONG HERE!
MORE THAN A DANCE STUDIO
Unplug From Technology
Less virtual, more real. It’s getting harder to help kids disconnect from technology and connect in real live experiences. RAD helps kids embody and express themselves without feeling the need to be someone they see online. They get to stretch, build up their strength, and new physical skills through dance.
Make Life-Long Friends
Less judgement, more encouragement. Sometimes the pressures or dynamics at school or home can prevent a kid from feeling understood or comfortable fully expressing themselves. RAD provides a safe-haven to foster authentic friendships with those who want to build you up, not tear you down.
Decompress the Mind
Less shallow, more mindful. Instead of mindlessly texting, scrolling, and “LOLing” online to relieve stress, we help youth connect with their creativity and friends to destress. Dance is great for the mind, body, and soul. We help youth process feelings and build self-esteem.
Live a Healthy Lifestyle
Less sitting, more moving! It’s never been easier to do more from the comfort and convenience of our homes. Because of this, we have to be more intentional about creating a life of movement! RAD inspires and guides your child to discover the fun in living a healthy lifestyle!

RAD’S DIRECTORS & INSTRUCTORS HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN
“Retter’s is more than a Dance Studio, it is home. I've trained with Darryl & Linda Retter since I moved to L.A. over 25 years ago. Now, my children are fortunate enough to call RAD their Dancing home! As far as I'm concerned, there's no better place for my children to learn to be great dancers, but, more importantly, great humans than under this amazing Faculty & Staff. Many people ask us why we drive to Agoura Hills when there are so many studios in the Valley. I always respond with, ‘There's no place like RAD!’ The best training with the best people, that's why we call RAD our home! So excited for RAD's next chapter with Nadine & Ramsey Hassen. RAD truly is the place to be!”

I am beyond excited and so honored to step into the role of Owner and Artistic Director of Retters Academy of Dance. I can’t speak highly enough about what Linda and Darryl have created— a wonderful dance community filled with love, passion, and inspiration. They are leaving a tremendous legacy behind as they move onto the next chapter of their lives. As I step into this new role, my goal is to continue the Retter values and vision. I strive to motivate, encourage, challenge and inspire each and every one of your children— they are the future! I believe that the key to success starts with a supportive and nurturing community, which is what we provide at RAD. I can’t wait to meet you all and write this new chapter alongside you and your wonderful children!
With Gratitude,
Nadine Hassen
