Silver Swan Ballet Classes

Jeanne Peihl at Salish Sea Ballet in Friday Harbor will be delivering Silver Swans Ballet Classes. Silver Swans is a pilot project delivered by the Royal Academy of Dance, featuring branded ballet classes created specifically for people over 55 and taught exclusively by Silver Swans Licensees. Specially designed for mature dancers, classes help improve mobility, posture, coordination and energy levels and, most importantly, impart the sense of wellbeing that dance brings.

Jeanne Peihl is a Silver Swans Licensee – meaning she has undertaken the training delivered by the Royal Academy of Dance in the US. There are just over 100 Silver Swans Licensees taking part in this pilot project, who trained either in the UK or the US. The training focuses on how to safely adapt ballet techniques for older adults and deliver a high quality ballet class for learners aged 55 and over, equipping teachers to recognize and respond to the different needs of participants of a broad age range.

Jeanne’s Silver Swans classes are every Friday 12:30 to 1:30 and you can find out more about Salish Sea Ballet here: http://www.salishseaballet.com/about/
