Our Silver Swans classes have been developed by the RAD so adults, no matter their experience, can take part in ballet classes. Whether you’re an experienced dancer, have briefly dabbled or are a complete novice, we welcome all learners of any ability or age to try out Silver Swans.
The health related benefits of dance are well documented as scientific research has established that 75% of the factors affecting quality of life and longevity are lifestyle related. Research has positioned dance ahead of other physical activity in terms of the extent of its health promoting benefits. Including: improving balance, slowing down ageing, increasing cognitive ability, strengthening muscles and increasing flexibility (to name a few!), but perhaps more important are the psychological benefits.
