Our Over 50s Ballet & Barre programme has been carefully designed by Athena Burns, Licenciate Classical Ballet teacher with both the IDTA and ISTD, and a specialist in anatomy and physiology. Drawing on years of teaching experience, Athena has created a class that is fully in line with classical ballet technique, but adapted to meet the needs of more mature dancers.
This supportive and inspiring class improves posture, balance, flexibility, and core strength, while allowing dancers to enjoy the artistry and discipline of ballet in a welcoming environment. Whether you are returning to dance or trying it for the first time, this programme is tailored to help you move with confidence.
