Become a Silver Swan
Whether you’re an experienced dancer, have briefly dabbled, or are a complete novice, we welcome older learners to try our Silver Swans® classes. These specially designed ballet sessions will help improve your mobility, posture, and co-ordination, and boost your energy levels.
Release your inner swan
Silver Swans classes are now available in selected parts of the world, including New Zealand. Our Silver Swans Licensees are trained specifically to teach ballet to adults over-55s, but all ages are welcome.
Look for the Silver Swans Licensee logo as a sign of quality and to ensure you get the best possible dance experience!


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.

“I lived for dancing when I was young, but have done nothing for 50+ years! I was thrilled to find Silver Swans and, although I can’t do things as I used to, or would like to, the sheer joy of moving to music is still there – such fun.”
— Anna, Silver Swan from Harpenden, age 74
