Tala Lee-Turton Private Classes

29/7/2019

 
It was lovely to welcome Tala Lee-Turton to our dancing school on Sunday 28th July. Tala gave our students a series of private classes in Russian Ballet (Vaganova) technique and stretching.

Tala made history as only the third British female to graduate from the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet Academy in its 245-year-history, and now she is achieving her career goals as a professional classical ballet dancer, having worked with Astrakhan State Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Russia and English National Ballet, London.

Thank you Tala for a series of such inspiring classes and we cannot wait to have you back again in the future.

Miss Johanna meets Silver Swans® ambassador Angela Rippon

24/7/2019

 
On Tuesday 23rd July, Miss Johanna travelled to the University of Roehampton to complete further CPD training for Silver Swans®.

​The course, 'Enhancing Silver Swans® Provision' covered progressing Silver Swans® further, incorporating aspects such as neurological conditions, lectures with physiotherapists and specialists in the fields of dance and ageing.

At the end of the day, Angela Rippon, Silver Swans® ambassador, joined a panel of experts for a group discussion.  

Miss Johanna was very fortunate to be introduced to Angela, and even had the opportunity to take a photo with her!

Progressing Ballet Technique Certification

18/7/2019

​We are delighted to announce that Miss Johanna is now a fully certified Progressing Ballet Technique teacher – she is qualified to teach all three levels of the training programme (Junior, Senior and Advanced).
Progressing Ballet Technique is an innovative program developed by RAD examiner, Marie Walton-Mahon, alongside the care a guidance of a team of physiotherapists. Its aim is for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet – and Marie's passion is for safe dance training.

PBT is supported by numerous professional dancers and ballet company directors. One of Marie's notable success stories from her PBT programme was with a 16-year-old male dancer, Daniel Roberge, who had no former ballet training. He was instructed to practice PBT daily alongside ballet classes in order for him to display the improvement. He improved so much that in 2007, two years after his first ballet lesson, he sat for all senior ballet examinations and was awarded the silver medal at the Genèe International Competition in Singapore. The next year Daniel signed a contract with Washington Ballet. Marie acknowledges that nothing takes the place of good ballet training, however, convinced that alongside ballet training, PBT accelerates technique.

Silver Swans® Summer Party 2019

14/7/2019

 
On Sunday 14th July we hosted our annual Silver Swans® Summer Party. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with lots of dancing and great food!

We hosted a raffle and tombola raising money once again for Greenmount Wild Bird Hospital with money in excess of £300 (grand total to follow soon).

It was lovely to see the talents of so many of the ladies as they donated beautiful watercolour paintings, knitted teddies and even a felted Lilac Fairy! The catering was a delicious spread all prepared by the Silver Swans® with some beautiful handmade swan themed cakes, too.

Although unfortunately many Silver Swans® were unable to attend the party, it was lovely to have nearly 50 Silver Swans® in attendance.
