Bluebirds Ballet School is excited to announce the launch of a new weekly ballet class for dancers over the age of 55 years. The program initiative was created by the Royal Academy of Dance and is known as Silver Swans.
There are many benefits of taking up ballet for the first time or re visiting it later in life. Ballet is wonderful for posture, core strength, balance, bone density, mobility of joints, flexibility, heart health and mental health. It is also a lovely way to make new friends with common interests.
Our passionate teachers are truly looking forward to not only sharing their years of dance teaching experience but also sharing the gentle, graceful and dignified art of ballet later in life. It’s a wonderful social activity to be involved in and will further increase your knowledge and joy of ballet when attending trips to the theatre. Expect your soul to sing and your sense of happiness and overall well-being to leap into a new stratosphere.
Classes are offered on weekday mornings or late evenings across North West & West London – only pre-qualification is being over 55 years of age. Please email us at bluebirdsballetschool@gmail.com or call on 07515522792 to book a taster class.
“I am exceptionally delighted to have discovered Silver Swans and wish I had joined much much earlier . The classes are expertly taught and enjoyable, and even at 78 my deportment has much improved as a result. This is one of the best forms of activity I have ever undertaken.” Shirly, October 2024
'Never having done ballet before, this has opened up a whole new world for me and has been such a wonderful experience. Classes are fun and challenging, the exercises being pitched appropriately for everyone’s physical capabilities, with unbelievably patient and brilliant teachers taking care to address the technicalities of steps and being thorough in teaching correct technique. The group is really friendly, caring, supportive and totally non-judgemental. I’m so glad I joined and really cannot recommend Bluebirds Silver Swans highly enough for anyone who would like to try the classes.'
