Silver Swans: Side by Side

5/2/2021

 
We are delighted to announce that our Silver Swans® have been chosen by the Royal Academy of Dance to be a part of their new pilot, 'Silver Swans: Side by Side'. 

As part of this pilot, the selected groups are partnered with another Silver Swans® group to arrange online events, shared classes etc.

We are delighted that our Silver Swans® have been partnered with Ascot School of Dance in Brisbane, Australia! On Friday 5th February we had our first informal meeting online at 9am here in the UK and 7pm in Australia.

Here is a screenshot of us all in the meeting (unfortunately, a few of our Swans involved in the Side by Side pilot couldn't stay so are missing from the picture). 

We're all looking forward to our next meeting!
