Darcey Bussell: Dancing to Happiness

Broadcast on Saturday 1st December 2018 on BBC Two

In July 2018 we were delighted to be asked to film with Dame Darcey Bussell for her latest BBC documentary,
​Darcey Bussell: Dancing to Happiness.

Dame Darcey Bussell spent four hours filming at our dancing school with our Silver Swans® and joined in their ballet class.

Below are images from the day with some quotes from our Silver Swans® about their classes.

"It's meeting other people, it makes you go out. You don't think of anything for a whole hour. Every problem is just left outside the door – and that's good"

"When I went out [of my first class], I sat up tall and a weight had gone off my head and my shoulders and I've never looked back"

"It was the first thing again that I found I really loved"
