Postponed: Silver Swans Licensee Workshop (Chicago, IL)

Due to Covid-19, this course has been postponed. New dates to be announced soon.

This one-day workshop will introduce experienced ballet teachers to Silver Swans®, with a focus on devising and delivering safe and inclusive ballet classes for older learners, and strategies which engage students with diverse experiences and abilities. The workshop aims to provide practical experience of effective ballet teaching strategies for a group of mixed ability older learners. On completion, teachers will have: an understanding of Silver Swans and the responsibilities and expectations of license holders, an awareness of a range of ballet teaching strategies and the benefits of these strategies in relation to the Silver Swans, a greater understanding of how to safely modify and deliver ballet repertoire for older learners, and a knowledge and understanding of appropriate progression, differentiation and integration considerations for adults of mixed ability.

In order to become a Silver Swans Licensee, you must take part in one of our Silver Swans Workshops. Following successful completion of the Workshop, RAD Registered Teachers are eligible to become a Silver Swans Licensee. All other participants will be eligible to become a Silver Swans Licensee pending approval by the workshop tutor.
