Experience the Joy of Ballet for Seniors 🩰

Senior Swans offers a unique ballet programme that enables older adults to learn and enjoy ballet in a supportive environment. Perfect for those with reasonable mobility who want to maintain or improve their fitness, our classes seamlessly blend strength-building exercises, stretches, and formal ballet training.

The classes follow a progressive syllabus over each term, allowing you to build skills gradually. We've modified traditional ballet to be joint-friendly by skipping the jumps while maintaining the grace and artistry that makes ballet so beautiful. 🌟

Each session provides:

• Gentle strength development for better stability
• Balance exercises to help prevent falls
• Improved mobility and flexibility
• Artistic expression through dance
• Social connection with like-minded people 👭

While it's best to start at the beginning of a term to follow the syllabus from the start, newcomers are always welcome to join midway through. Our instructor ensures everyone feels included regardless of when they begin.

You absolutely do NOT need any dance background to participate! Many of our most enthusiastic dancers are complete beginners who discovered the joy of ballet later in life. Join our supportive community and experience how dance can enhance your wellbeing while bringing joy to your weekly routine. 💪✨
