New term of online classes

5/1/2021

It's not too late to enrol for our new term, with online ballet classes available for boys and girls aged 4-18 years old.

Our school has been established in Bury for 42 years and since lockdown, our online training has ensured that each student still receives professional, technical tuition of the highest standard.

Here is a short video on Facebook featuring some of our Junior students, showing that online ballet classes haven't been a barrier to continuing with their dance training:

Happy New Year!

2/1/2021

Wishing all our past and present students, Silver Swans®, friends of the school and their families a Happy New Year!
2020 was a challenging year but it is through these times of great difficulties that we are so lucky to have such wonderful and supportive students, parents and Silver Swans®.

Despite all the difficulties 2020 has presented, we are fortunate to have some wonderful memories. We have had students accepted into full-time ballet schools, students accepted into junior/mid-associate ballet programmes, competition successes and multiple students modelling for Dancewear Central. Back in Feburary, we had five students and Silver Swans® performing in Swan Lake Dreams at the Birmingham Hippodrome. For our Silver Swans®, we've hosted Silver Swans® ballet classes for Full Circle at the Oldham Coliseum in Feburary, hosted multiple online Silver Swans® classes for the Royal Voluntary Service, and Miss Johanna was honoured to be asked to co-present a meeting with the Royal Academy of Dance's Artistic Director, Gerard Charles, for all Silver Swans® licensees.

As 2021 takes us into our 43rd year, we look forward to returning to online classes on Saturday 9th January – we can't wait to see you all!
