Meet the Australian Silver Swans

[@michellewilkes6329]

I learnt the RAD method as a child but haven't done it for 30 years. I've learnt other methods at various schools, but the RAD method still holds a special place in my heart as it looks the most graceful. Even though i have previously attended a ballet school specifically for adults, the syllabus was made up by the teacher and incredibly hap-hazard, changing from one term to the next. Being able to do the same things as everybody else in the country would be terrific. I currently attend a teenage ballet exam class taught by my original ballet teacher, but in a different method, and it's just not the same. I'm only 46 and finding it very hard on the joints with all the jumping. This looks so much better. It should be taught everywhere. If there are no ballet schools available then it should be available with online lessons. Well done RAD for seeing a need in the community and filling the void!

Hi, Canadian Silver Swan here. If you're interested in starting ballet I encourage you to move forward and give it a try. I started ballet at age 50 and discovered a deep love for it. I've been taking 2 weekly classes for several years and now, in my 60's, I've reached my goal of dancing en pointe and I couldn't be happier.
