We are delighted to announce that Miss Johanna has successfully passed her Progressing Ballet Technique Level 3 renewal assessment!

Miss Johanna is one of only a handful of teachers in the UK who holds the highest level of Progressing Ballet Technique qualification attainable – Level 3. Every year, in order to maintain her qualification, she has to be re-assessed, and she passed with flying colours! Johanna was assessed by the founder of PBT and here are some extracts from her assessment feedback:

"I love how you approach working with students with scoliosis and the adjustments you make to our PBT exercises to ensure safe dance training"

"I am delighted with your understanding of the knee and its surrounding musculoskeletal groups, and the importance of activating and aligning these correctly. It’s clear that you have a deep understanding of the complex relationships between the different muscle groups in the body, and how the PBT methodology works to strengthen, mobilise, and connect them"

Our Silver Swans® Licensee, Johanna, was asked to to contribute to this feature in The i Paper on myths around ageing.

​As one of the featured experts in this article, Johanna debunks the myth that ballet is only for younger people!
