The Royal Academy of Dance has announced the expansion of its Silver Swans programme designed for older learners, offering more resources and exercises including seated dance.
Silver Swans was launched in 2017 and built on research conducted by the Royal Academy of Dance in 2013 on dance for lifelong wellbeing. Notable Silver Swans dancers who routinely take classes have included Queen Camilla and Angela Rippon.
Alexander Campbell, Artistic Director of the RAD, said, “at the RAD, we are so proud that our Silver Swans programme has transformed and touched the lives of so many people across the world. It is a hugely popular dance programme and is proven to improve older people’s balance, coordination and cognition. We are delighted to be expanding such a brilliant programme and look forward to sharing our new offerings with current and new Silver Swans teachers and dancers.”
