BALLET CLASSES FOR THE OVER 50s

It's never too late to start find your inner ballerina!

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.

These classes will help participants improve their mobility, posture, co-ordination and energy levels. They also help with memory and recall, although there is not a requirement to remember sequences from one class to the next. The classes serve as a social interaction, and above all, fun!

I have over twenty years of experience working with children and adults as a dance teacher and manager. I have my own dance school, and teach classes in ballet, tap, modern and acrobatics for children from the age of three through to adults of 79. I am a registered teacher of the Royal Academy of Dance and British Theatre Dance Association, and am one of only ninety people in the UK to now hold the new RAD Silver Swans™ licence. This means I am qualified by the most prestigious dance organization in the world to teach the over 65+ age category.
