SILVER SWANS
BLACK BIRD RED ROSE STUDIOS

Black Bird Red Rose Studios have been running Silver Swans classes from their Frome studio since June 2019. These are delivered by qualified dance teacher Sue McGovern, who has been trained by the Royal Academy of Dance to adapt ballet techniques safely for older adults. Sue delivers a high quality ballet class for, and is trained to respond to the different needs of, participants of a broad age range. The classes are aimed at the over 55s, but this is only a guide figure, as they also welcome younger members. Classes are open and accessible and help improve your mobility, posture, coordination, and energy levels. No previous experience is needed.
In November 2020, Silver Swan classes were taken online, accecible to those at home over Zoom. This was so successful throughout lockdown, that when they re-open their face-to-face classes they will continue to live stream out to their Zoom participants who are not local to Frome. An added benefit is that a recording of the class is sent out to all bookers, meaning those who cannot attend on the day can take the class at a more convenient time from home.
One free Zoom class, or one discounted face-toface class, is available for all new starters. To take advantage of this offer go to the website and click on Classes.
