Fiz Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Lisa, after my first ballet class in I don’t know how many years, I was sore and stiff for four days. It passed and the next time it was fine. I also lost weight! I’m not dancing now as I’m not well enough to go every week and am hoping that Lincoln will soon get a Silver Swan class like some other areas in Lincolnshire have as I think it would suit me better. Hang in there! x 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Lisa Sounds like a good employer, who took you seriously after one shift and obviously wants to keep you. That's really not to be sniffed at. Hang in there, sounds like night porter might be your niche. Fiz I know there are silver swans in Horncastle, during the day. Gutted, I really wanted to start to dance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about time there was one here. case of finding an RAD teacher willing to give the class if it's particularly Silver Swans ( and is there the demand for SS vs free work adult class open to all or something like Discovering Repetoire) , otherwise it's a case of persuading once of the schools / studios with access to their own spaces that a day time class is worth it ... and although not Silver Swans , if you drive Lady Bay Ballet have several day time classes in Lady Bay / W Bridgford which is just into Rushcliffe but to all intents Nottingham ( and A46 - A52 rather than rural roads) (declared bias here i am a happy customer / student of Katie who runs Lady Bay Ballet as well as taking class at Streetbeat in Lincoln ) this is rapidly diverging to something which ought to be in 'Doing Dance' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hmm! I might talk to Streetbeat (unless you want to, Nicola) and Go Dance. There’s lots of older people who do ballet cardio at Go Dance but they blanch at the idea of doing actual ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s lots of older people who do ballet cardio at Go Dance but they blanch at the idea of doing actual ballet. i'm sure Hayley and Julie would be open to the idea if there was going to be sufficient people to make it worthwhile ( as they do do PT and private lessons in the day time) , as they don't really have the space to add more classes in the evenings ( ideal world i think they might have a third adult ballet as wednesday is definitely 'capital I ' intermediate and Monday regulars include some definite 'improvers' , as they are already using all three spaces at various times in the evening on some days ( the two big studios and the smaller room / studio off the communal area ) One of the off putting things with Ballet at Go ( both Sleaford and Lincoln) is they are pay per term and IIRC it;s quite long terms ( where the ballet cardio / barre fitness is PAYG) , where Streetbeat are now saying pay per 'term' for adult dance classes but it;s 4 - 6 week blocks and they are reasonably flexible on people either carrying over or only paying for the classes they know they can make. whereas Katie seems to be managing well on PAYG with her classes In Lady Bay / Nottingham , but that is because Monday and Friday seem to be the main daytime adult classes in Nottingham - i think Katie is now running 6 classes a week 2 'beginner' 2 'open' and 2 pointe , she's fortunate in the venue that she uses are really helpful, but then again they do make a reasonable amount of money from the people who take class with katie was well as what Katie pays to rent to space . we really need to stop diverting Lisa's thread here.

Nicola H Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 this thread is also an opportune moment to remind people of the google maps overlay that @sophie_rebecca maintains Adult Ballet Classes - it;s user contributed so the majority if not all of the classes listed are ones which people have taken or know the teachers involved.

alison Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There has just been a piece on BBC London news about "silver swans" taking dance classes with ENB. I believe the news is accessible on iPlayer for a few hours - perhaps up to 24? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
