Silver Swans on the BBC

A segment on the BBC’s Morning Live programme last week showcased the physical, mental and cognitive benefits of dance, in particular Silver Swans classes.

These are specially designed ballet sessions, aimed at over-55s, to help improve mobility, posture, and co-ordination, and boost energy levels, and the programme featured a class run by Laura Jakes in Leeds.

Jackie, who’s been coming to Laura’s classes since January said: “I have noticed so many changes – my balance is already starting to get better and improved.”

You can watch the piece on iPlayer here starting at around an hour in.
