Age is no barrier to anyone from Greenock or Inverclyde who is interested in Ballet. Silver Swans Greenock was Scotland's first dedicated programme of Classical Ballet designed especially for Pensioners. After successful trials by the Royal Academy of Dance in Glasgow, Silver Swans Greenock started in November 2011 and now runs twice a week. All classes are carried out by experienced and fully trained Royal Academy of dance teachers. The classes are suitable for all abilities and will give students the opportunity to learn basic ballet positions and routines, while having lots of fun at the same time.
Each lesson is carried out in a private Ballet Studio in Greenock, which is complete with mirrored walls and ballet barres. All classes last about one hour and although the idea is to keep fit and learn ballet, everyone has fun as well.
Silver Swans is a great place to keep fit at a gentle pace, meet new friends and of course learn all about Classical Ballet. All the Silver Swans in Greenock have the opportunity to get involved in lots of other activities, and some have even been know to help sew costumes and sell programmes for Classical Ballet performances within Inverclyde.
Silver Swan classes run twice a week and last about an hour, each ballet class which is followed by tea and coffee. This is great chance for everyone to meet after class and get to know other Silver Swans
