Dance classes for adults that stretch, stimulate, energise and are, above all, FUN!
Adult Ballet and Contemporary Dance Classes & Workshops
Most of us really do enjoy exercising to music and would like to improve our balance, flexibility and core strength as well as keep our bones strong AND exercise our brains. Adult ballet can do all this and is, above all, fun!
It's not about trying to be a prima ballerina or being 'the right shape'. It's about having fun, working our brains as well as our bodies and meeting other like-minded people.
"I have always wanted to learn ballet but never expected to start in my my late 60s. Having heard of Silver Swans, I searched for a teacher and what a find Jacquie was. She is a brilliant and inspiring teacher and her classes are the highlight of my week."
Diane- Silver Swan
"I have never enjoyed any dance lessons as much as I love Contemporary Dance in Jacquie's lessons. I look forward to each one. The music inspires us and gets us all enjoying moving and the sequences are fun and challenging. I have definitely improved my core strength, suppleness and coordination but, most of all, I have loved growing my confidence, developing my creativity and making friends who I trust and enjoy dancing with.
However, the most exciting thing about Gentle Contemporary is that we have been guided, supported and encouraged to have a go at improvisation, and I LOVE IT!
Everyone should come and give it a try!"
Rachael- Gentle Contemporary
“Jacquie is a great teacher - her Gentle Contemporary class is a fabulous mix of organised moves and creative expression. Working as a group we develop routines with a freedom not possible in ballet. We can move as much or as little as we wish. There’s no pressure. We laugh a lot whilst working our brains and on our fitness. So much more fun than the gym!”
Vivienne- Gentle Contemporary
