Deciding to join an adult ballet class can be a big decision

If you are:

  • Worried about your body type
  • Concerned about your health issues
  • Feeling ‘too old’
  • Struggling with poor balance and posture
  • Lacking in confidence

Then Silver Swans is the perfect ballet class for you. Our award-winning teacher, Rebecca, creates a relaxing yet sociable environment, supporting men and women from all walks of life to feel confident, and fit.

More than a ballet class

Silver Swan classes are specifically designed for people over 55, but all ages and abilities are welcome -whether you’re starting from scratch or returning to something you love. You’ll learn real ballet steps, allowing you to express yourself through music, try something new, and socialise.

We believe the social side is just as important as the actual dancing itself, so we make sure:

  • There’s time to chat and catch-up in every class
  • We often go for a cuppa after class
  • We organise exciting theatre trips and events to get people together

“Happy. Energised. Fit.”

An experienced dance teacher of more than 10 years, Rebecca has supported over 100 adults to take up ballet -helping them feel happier, younger, fitter and included, thanks to our Silver Swan Classes.

“I love all of it! Such fabulous and very varied music we dance to -great choices and I want to sing along (and do sometimes!). I love learning new steps and dances. Everything is so clearly demonstrated. And I’ve met so many lovely, inspiring, and amazing women in the 4+ years since I started.”

Sue, 70, from South Shields.

What our students say

  • "I'm so very glad I decided to take up ballet - it's a great group, very friendly, and I'm enjoying it more than I ever could have imagined! Great exercise as well for strength, posture and balance - and I love wearing my red ballet shoes and swishy ballet skirt!!"

    Sue, Silver Swan

  • "Rebecca Yates is the loveliest of teachers! I went to the class on my own after seeing it advertised on Facebook- after a few weeks it had to be postponed due to the current health crisis - however - Rebecca is doing live on line lessons - I love this - I have never danced before in my life! I so much enjoy learning - and it doesn’t matter how many times you don’t get it quite right! I really appreciate Rebecca’s efforts to keep us dancing! Lovely lady!"

    Denise, Silver Swan

  • "Thank you so much for helping me to feel happy and confident when i dance. I really enjoy my lessons with you"

    Eleanor, RAD Student

  • "Thank you so much for all the wonderful lessons you have provided over the past few months, Matilda has enjoyed them very much."

    Victoria, parent of student

  • "Love love love the Silver Swans at 9.30am on a Saturday, So pleased to have discovered this class -many thanks to Rebecca -you are a star ****"

    Stephanie, Silver Swan

  • "The classes are very friendly and Rebecca is very good at giving us choices and adaptations so that we can all dance, despite some dodgy joints and backs. Because we’re exercising to beautiful music, it doesn’t feel so hard but I can tell that I’ve really improved my fitness, flexibility and balance."

    Anne, Silver Swan

  • "As well as Rebecca’s very friendly welcome, she was a great encouragement to me to move when it was easy to do nothing - and I enjoyed it and got benefit from gentle exercise."

    Isabel, Chair Based Ballet
