There is a little mention for our very own Silver Swans in the latest edition of the Royal Academy of Dance's Dance Gazette!
​
This edition is edited by Dame Darcey Bussell, and in an interview with Dr Peter Lovatt, Darcey Bussell references the documentary that we filmed with her back in 2018.

Royal Ballet School Junior Associate

15/10/2020

Congratulations to Eliana who has been awarded a place as a Junior Associate of the Royal Ballet School.

The Royal Ballet School, London, offers elite training to exceptionally gifted dancers aged 11-18 years old. The Junior Associate scheme, introduces young dancers to the Royal Ballet School's specialist training programme from age 8.

Hundreds of children from across the country audition for places on the Royal Ballet School's prestigious Junior Associate programmes, with only a handful of successful students awarded a place.
Since starting ballet with us only two years ago, Eliana has progressed from a complete beginner to Grade 3 ballet (something that would normally take 5 years). This year, she has successfully been awarded places as a Junior Associate of both Elmhurst Ballet School and now the Royal Ballet School, too.

Eliana will continue her training with us, but will now also receive specialist weekly tuition from both the Royal Ballet School and Elmhurst Ballet School tutors.

Silver Sunday 2020

5/10/2020

 
On Sunday 4th October, we hosted a free online Silver Swans® ballet class for the over 55s as part of the annual Silver Sunday celebrations.

The participants began by learning the basics of ballet, including barre and centre work, before learning repertoire from Don Quixote. After the class, everyone enjoyed a lovely chat on Zoom.
​
We were thrilled to be joined by participants from all across the UK, Europe and Canada.
​
Silver Sunday is an initiative of the Sir Simon Milton Foundation. It is a celebration of older people and their contribution to society, held annually on the first Sunday in October.

Studio 10 Associate classes return

5/10/2020

 
We hope that Indiyana, enjoys a fantastic first day back at Studio 10 Junior Associates today!

Sadly, owing to the current pandemic, the associate classes are currently held online, but we hope that she really enjoys the day.
​
This is Indiyana's second year with full-time dance college Studio 10 in their associate classes. She successfully auditioned for the programme in 2019 and now attends there three times per term for a full day of intense dance classes including ballet, body conditioning, jazz, contemporary, drama, tap and musical theatre.
