Silver Swans® 1st Anniversary

12/9/2018

 
Today marks one year ago since our very first Silver Swans® ballet classes for the over 55s. We were very fortunate to be the first school in Lancashire to offer the Royal Academy of Dance's Silver Swans® classes, and one of only 120 teachers licensed throughout the world.

We began our Silver Swans® in September  2017 with two classes – this has now expanded to five classes, and has over 75 people attending each week.

In this first year, our Silver Swans® classes have been featured on BBC North West Tonight, BBC Radio Manchester, That's Manchester TV, and in The Times, Daily Express, This is Lancashire, Bury Times and Bolton News. The social media video created by BBC North West Tonight has been shared all over the world and currently viewed over 380,000 times.

We were also involved in Manchester's first Festival of Ageing at Manchester Library, Bury Millgate and The Midland Hotel, and The Royal Voluntary Service's 'First Time for Everything', sponsored by Prudential.

Our Silver Swans have appeared in Matthew's Bourne's New Adventures 'Cinderella: A Museum Project' at the Imperial War Museum North, and balletLORENT's Rumplestiltskin at The Lowry.

We've enjoyed a Christmas party, a summer party, trips to the cinema, trips to the theatre and many ladies meet up outside of classes for lunch and coffee!

We look forward to returning to Silver Swans® classes next week and warmly welcome our new Silver Swans® joining us.
