Silver Swans meets Swan Lake

As part of this year's Aging Well Festival, come and release your inner swan! Silver Swans followed two years of research dedicated to making ballet accessible for people age 55+. Some of our Swans are slightly younger than this, some older so don't be put off. Among the physical benefits are improved posture, balance, strength and coordination. This class takes Swan Lake as its theme.

Silver Swans is the result of a research project conducted by the Royal Academy of Dance into dance for lifelong wellbeing. This is a gentle ballet class to improve balance, posture, coordination, agility and spatial awareness.

Teachers have to be licensed by the RAD to deliver the programme.
