Starlight Silver Swans take flight!
Ten Ballet Dancers from The Starlight Company Hereford had the opportunity to take classes and perform at the Royal Academy of Dance Global Headquarters in London on 1st November.
After a day of classes they rubbed shoulders with the stars, meeting Silver Swan Ambassador Angela Rippon and Dancing legend Wayne Sleep.
The Hereford dancers were part of the Silver Swans Celebration – a now annual event that shines a spotlight on Silver Swans and Licensees who have enjoyed the pure joy that ballet brings. They performed along with 11 other groups of Silver Swans from across the world! They danced beautifully to “Whatever will be”(Que sera, sera) choreographed by their teacher Becks White who was part of the pilot programme of Silver Swans teachers in 2018. She was also chosen to teach at the RAD for the celebration commenting, “It was an honour to be chosen to take part in the celebration. Silver Swans is pure joy. It opens up the beauty of ballet to all. The health and happiness of my community is my passion and purpose and this experience was the icing on the cake.”
Emma Mountain a Starlight Silver Swan adds “I feel so happy to have found Becks and all the lovely ladies. I didn’t know a soul when I moved to Herefordshire and our little group has really changed my life. The two days we spent together (and the lead up!) have been the happiest and most incredible experience”
The ballet programme for dancers over 55 has received huge popularity across the globe – proving no matter age or ability everyone can enjoy the pure joy dance brings.
Becks teaches 100 swans in Hereford across 3 weekly classes as well as the new Seated Swans of which she is an ambassador for following her work teaching Dance and Yoga within care homes for the last 10 years.
