Silver Swans: On Screen

To commemorate the International Day of Older Persons, and Silver Sunday, this Autumn, we are inviting filmed submissions from Silver Swans Licensees to spotlight their dancers.

Your performances, specifically created to be enjoyed on screen, will be part of our digital stage month. From Sunday 5 October – Sunday 2 November, we will highlight the global Silver Swans community, sharing your dancing across our online platforms.

Steps to follow:

• STAGE 1: Read the information pack guidance thoroughly.
• STAGE 2: Get creative with your dancers!
• STAGE 3: Complete the form below and upload your film by Friday 5 September.

Whether it’s a graceful solo, a joyful group piece, or a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your class in action — we’d love to celebrate the essence of Silver Swans everywhere.

We can’t wait to see your Silver Swans shine! Take a moment to enjoy last year’s inspiring entries.
