This July, Elmhurst Ballet School invites adult dancers to step into a unique and uplifting experience with its Silver Swans Summer Retreat; a carefully curated programme blending dance, wellbeing and community in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Running from Monday 13 - Thursday 16 July (with arrival on Sunday 12 July), the retreat offers participants a relaxed yet immersive opportunity to reconnect with movement, build confidence and enjoy the joy of dance.

At the heart of the retreat are dedicated Silver Swans® sessions for those aged 55+, alongside a broader programme open to adult dancers of all ages and abilities. Whether returning to dance after time away or trying it for the first time, participants can tailor their experience to suit their individual goals and interests.

Silver Swans® licensed classes are designed by the Royal Academy of Dance specifically for teaching ballet to learners aged 55 and upwards. They have been developed to support mobility, posture, coordination and musicality in an encouraging and inclusive setting. These classes are offered by Elmhurst Ballet School as part of the Silver Swans® Summer Retreat.

Participants can look forward to a varied and engaging schedule, including Pilates-style warm-ups, daily ballet technique classes, repertoire sessions, and workshops in Jazz and Bollywood dance. Beyond the studio, evenings provide opportunities to relax and connect, with optional activities such as wine tasting with Loki Wine, a visit to Martineau Gardens, craft sessions and social gatherings.
