SILVER SWANS®

UntitledSILVER+SWANS.jpg
 

The Royal Academy of Dance developed Silver Swans in response to a growing demand for ballet classes for older learners. Sessions are based upon research into dance practice for older participants from the Dance for Lifelong Wellbeing project. This project identified psychological benefits of dance, such as perceived improvements in quality of life, as well as physiological advantages, such as improved balance.

Classes are for both novice and experienced dancers. Although targeted at those aged over 55, there is no upper or lower age limit to be a Silver Swan. These classes will help improve mobility, posture, co-ordination and energy levels. Silver Swans Licensees do not follow any particular syllabus; rather, the training gives them insight into how to adapt their teaching to a diverse class of adults and information on safe practice.
