Silver Swan Classes
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 our 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.
Silver Swans classes are delivered exclusively by Silver Swans Licensees who have trained to safely adapt ballet techniques for older adults.
o Classes are for both novice and experienced dancers
o Although targeted at those aged over 55, there is no upper or lower age limit to be a Silver Swan
o These classes will help improve mobility, posture, co-ordination and energy levels
o Most importantly, these classes are an opportunity to have fun and enjoy the sense of wellbeing that dance brings
The classes do not follow any particular syllabus; they focus of style, musicality, quality of movement & inspiring a diverse group of ‘swans.’
The Dunedin School of Ballet & Dance started teaching Silver Swans classes in August 2019 & already has a core group who are just loving the classes & have asked for more classes per week!
