Level 3 Progressing Ballet Technique Certification

18/12/2020

 
We are very proud to announce that Miss Johanna has been working hard while in lockdown, and has now passed her Level 3 Progressing Ballet Technique certification. Level 3 is the highest level of Progressing Ballet Technique certification attainable.

To achieve this, Miss Johanna had to have already gained her Level 1 and Level 2 certifications and she was examined on excellence in correcting faults, understanding and working with different body types, planning of rehabilitation with PBT, planning PBT class plans and also the understanding of the fascia and how it assists the body.

Miss Johanna is now only one of a handful of teachers in the UK to hold her Level 3 certificate, and is the only Level 3 certified teacher in Manchester.

Silver Swans® online Christmas Party 2020!

7/12/2020

 
On Sunday 6th December, we hosted our annual Silver Swans® Christmas party. It was a little different this year as the party was on Zoom, but what a fantastic day we had! Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such an enjoyable event.
​
Of course, it wouldn't be a Silver Swans® party without our light-up swan and nutcracker watching over the proceedings!
