Silver Swans
Silver Swans ballet classes have been introduced by the Royal Academy of Dance to open up the joy of ballet to older learners. A ballet class is a series of exercises at the barre and in the centre of the room unsupported. We practice the same class for a half term, to work on the movements and also learn a short Dance.
- Silver Swans classes are running in many countries around the world.
- Moving to uplifting music is enjoyable - you will learn something new, meet likeminded people and have fun, whilst exercising gently.
- Classes are tailored for students over the age of 55, although anyone over the age of 18 is welcome, as the ballet class can be adapted to suit individual requirements.
- No dance experience is necessary.
- Dancing is good for your brain – remembering what comes next is all part of the fun!
- Dancers will learn about posture and technique, alongside artistry and musicality.
- Ballet improves strength, posture, coordination and balance.
- In short, dance is good for the body, mind and soul.
Lucie loves dancing and enjoys teaching anyone with enthusiasm, from total beginner to dancers with experience. All you need to join a class is comfortable clothing and enthusiasm ( leotards and lycra are not required!).
