Whether you’re an experienced dancer, have briefly dabbled, or are a complete novice, we welcome older learners to our Silver Swans® classes. These specially designed ballet sessions will help improve your mobility, posture, and co-ordination, and boost your energy levels.
Everybody can dance! Whether you’ve never danced before or want to get back into the swing of Iife, our classes have something for everyone. The RAD has developed this programmed based on research into dance practice for older learners and our classes are taught by RAD trained teachers.
Improve your dance-life balance
Research shows that 75% of the factors affecting quality of life and longevity are related to lifestyle, while only 25% are hereditary. This means that there’s no excuse for not becoming more active whatever your age. Dance in particular can play a vital role in ensuring a longer and better quality of life.
Dance is also rated ahead of many other physical activities for its health benefits. It’s also a very social activity, so Silver Swans classes are a great way to meet new people with a passion and joy for life.
Remember to reduce your risk of falls, improve physical function and enhance your quality of life, older adults should aim for at least 2 hours of strength and balance exercise each week.
SEATED SWANS
Seated Swans comprises of carefully crafted exercises that reflect the unique needs and aspirations of learners with mobility issues. Drawing upon the principles of ballet technique, each exercise and class is thoughtfully structured to promote strength, flexibility, and balance while prioritising safety and accessibility. From gentle warm-up exercises to a lively challenge finale, participants are guided through a diverse range of seated exercises that engage both body and mind.
