The RAD’s flagship event, the Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition, gives young dancers a chance to learn from top professionals. This year’s coaches include Endalyn T Outlaw – dancer, educator, choreographer and Dean of the School of Dance at the University of North Carolina. Endalyn’s career is incredibly varied – she performed with the Dance Theatre of Harlem and in the original Broadway cast of The Lion King, she’s restaged ballets and developed a philosophy of dance teaching that is focused on helping dancers bring their whole selves to the stage.

Endalyn T Outlaw – dancer, choreographer and educator – is dean of the School of Dance at UNCSA. She was previously director of Dance Theatre of Harlem School in New York – a company she joined in 1984, becoming a principal dancer in 1993 – and director of the Cambridge Summer Art Institute, Massachusetts. She has created an eclectic body of choreographic works and excels at restaging ballets, having worked with luminaries including Arthur Mitchell, Alonzo King, Agnes de Mille and Garth Fagan. She has performed on Broadway and internationally, including in the original casts of The Lion King and Aida.
