Silver Swans ballet at home with Licensee Fiona Fretwell

Fiona Fretwell

I have been teaching Silver Swan classes since September 2018 in various locations in Norfolk, UK. I love teaching Silver Swans, the participants feel so many benefits from ballet both physically and in their well being. They are all very enthusiastic and keen to learn and practice too, it’s such a pleasure to teach them all.

I started teaching online classes due to the pandemic in June 2020, I teach live classes on Zoom and also offer a pre-recorded class too. Although it’s not quite the same as being with everyone in person I have adapted to teaching online and what’s more important is my participants have adapted too. Many of them are enjoying taking part online to keep up their ballet practice, many have said the classes are both uplifting and calming, they enjoy the hour to forget everything else and just dance. As well as weekly classes, I have taught workshops online with a focus on learning some choreography. Many participants miss the social side of classes so we also have occasional coffee and chat meetups on Zoom too. With online classes accessible from anywhere it’s been great to welcome new participants too.
