In these difficult times it is more important than ever to keep yourself physically fit, and mentally fit. There is no better way than through a ballet class at home. The endorphines from the exercise lift your mood, the intricacies of the exercises stimulate your brain and memory and the comradery of the class, even online, is a lovely way to socialise with a common goal. If you don't want to join us alone, why not join with a friend - and unlike physical classes, you don't need to live in the same place to have a shared experience!

So why not join our online Silver Swans?

We have a new complete beginner Silver Swans class starting on the 14th September. This is open to all adults who would like to start ballet via Zoom video conferencing or in person at Avonway Community Centre.

The beginners’ class will be 3.15pm-3.55pm on a Monday and the course will last for 6 weeks. The course will be £10 per session for physical classes, and £7 per session for Zoom.

In this class we will cover the basics of ballet from correct posture, to basic steps, to ways of remembering sequences and much more. In completing the 6 week course, attendees should then have the confidence and basic knowledge of ballet to be comfortable joining the existing Silver Swans classes.

As an alternative, if you would prefer more classes a week, if you join one physical class or the Zoom package you can also attend the following on Zoom as part of the same price:

Tuesday Silver Swans 3.15-3.55pm

Wednesday Silver Swans 3.15-3.55pm

Thursday Silver Swans 3.15-3.55pm

Tuesday Adult Ballet: 7.30-8.15pm

You will be invoiced at the start of the block of classes via email. The invoice will then will need to be paid via BACS/bank transfer.

Silver Swans™ classes are designed to help the older learner enjoy movement and dance for lifelong wellbeing. They are inclusive, and are tailored to meet the level of mobility for individuals. The classes are usually thirty minutes to an hour each session, depending on the learners’ needs and offer the chance for participants to have fun and exercise as a group activity. Classes are based around a ballet type of class and include the use of music.
