Thank you thank you thank you! I gathered much courage to enrol into a adult ballet class. It's bee 4 classes but I still feel quite lost. Not following well and look like a robot with 2 leftfeet. Your videos really help me understand the basic techniques, and at least I get to see the French words to make sense out of my teacher's lips. Love how u explain the arm positions and swapping the foot on 2and 3! I'm a slow learner, in class it was overwhelming to make my legs and arms to follow, but not I can repeat the videos as much as I need. hope the daily practice can help open my hips and make me look less like a robot. Really thankful these videos are available to help people like me who never get to learn to dance in childhood

I’m only 21 never done proper ballet and I’m clicking like I’m 80 kudos to the silver foxes doing this!

I really learn valuable verbal cues from this teacher. Last class there was a verbal instruction to pull the stomach DOWN (as opposed to in) to lengthen to back which I found just revolutionary. This class she describes cambre as an opening of the shoulder blades which really brings the appropriate focus away from the arch. It's so valuable during Covid to hear other companies through their own culture and syllabus give cues. It really enriches body intelligence. It also is generous to be given a silver swan allowance these days. To actually feel that silver swan status is earned and not to have to push toward an extreme athleticism any longer, but to still do this stage of life intelligently- Thank you very much for class!

This is so fun! I've been wanting to do some exercises during lockdown and these are just the right length and the right amount of difficulty! I have never done ballet before, but it's always been something that intrigued me, so I'm super happy to try it out through these videos!

Thank you so much for these classes. They are wonderful. I haven’t done any ballet for over 40 years. Some of it is coming back! Such an uplifting thing to do in lockdown.

Thank you for these wonderful classes making ballet exercises accessible

I love to do this classes, love dance. Thank you.

I am finding these classes well designed and helpful and about the right time for a beginner

I so loved this class! Thank you!

I always keep in mind the eyelashes. Big hug from Colombia :)

As a Former ABT trained ballerina in her 50’s I must say that these Silver Swan classes are spot on technically and artistically. I feel wonderful after these barre exercises Thank you so very much for this during our lockdown.... Wish ABT had a similar program for us Senior Ballerinas.....

Excellent classes! I have never had the opportunity to do ballet in my youth & eventually tried it at 55 with osteoarthritis in one knee! I struggle with some of the poses, however, strangely enough my knee & ankles feel stronger. Brilliant idea for lockdown & given me something challenging to do - thank you Sarah for the clear & fun lessons!

These classes are so much fun. I never practiced ballet nor know much about it. I have practiced sports all my life and find the movements being taught extremely beneficial for posture and strength. In the world I was brought up ballet was considered a femenine practice. I only now realize how wrong that way of thinking was and unfortunately continues to be.

a great class - thanks so much for doing these! I only started Silver Swans ballet in December as a complete novice - and love doing ballet now :o)

Love these practices ! I´m here in Brazil and would never have the chance to do it, but with this online class I´m able !

Un million de gracias…

Fabulous series of classes, thank you RAD. Many of my Swans are enjoying using these to supplement their 'online' classes.

Thank you so much, l forward to next week!

Thank you! I loved this class.

It is so cool to practice my eyelashes again! ;)

Nice piano playing!

Thank you

Wonderful, thank you

Grands Mercis👏💃🎶🎶

Thank you very much for the class. I am a ballet teacher leaving in the end of the world..Chile. I attend the Inspire seminars in London for ballet teachers but I wish it was more easy to have the Silver Swan certificate. Is very difficult and expensive for people leaving so far to travel to USA, Canada, UK ...I wish you will create a similar opportunity online.Thank you.
