Silver Swans: Focus on Classical

The Silver Swans: Focus on Classical course offers dancers the chance to join us for a week of classes focussing on ballet technique and repertoire.

Two levels of Ballet and Repertoire classes are available for you to choose from. These classes will gradually develop your technique and understanding as the week progresses, featuring live piano accompaniment to add to your enjoyment. An informal studio sharing will take place on the last day for you to perform the repertoire piece you have been working on throughout the week to friends and family.

For a wider range of classes across the course of a week including, Ballet Technique, Repertoire, Pilates and Move to the Musicals, see our Silver Swans Summer School.

This course has now closed for bookings. Please contact participate@rad.org.uk for enquiries.
