Benefits of Ballet for Mature Adults in Christchurch

Ballet is a brilliant way for older adults to maintain mobility, improve posture, and boost overall wellbeing. 🩰 The Silver Swans programme specifically caters to mature bodies with exercises that are gentle yet effective.

Ballet training offers numerous advantages for seniors:

• Improved balance and coordination - helping to prevent falls and increase confidence in everyday movement
• Enhanced flexibility and joint mobility - keeping your body supple and reducing stiffness
• Better posture - counteracting the natural tendency toward rounded shoulders and forward head position
• Cognitive stimulation - learning choreography and movement patterns keeps your mind sharp
• Social connection - join a supportive community of like-minded peers in Christchurch

No previous dance experience is required to enjoy these classes! The supportive environment ensures everyone can participate at their own pace and ability level. ✨

Classes take place in the excellent facilities at Rangi Ruru's Performing Art Building in Merivale, offering a professional but welcoming atmosphere for your ballet journey.
