Yesterday we had our last classes before half term break, which wraps up a very full six weeks of classes. Super dancing, everyone!!

As well as teaching, throughout April and May I began the first stage of data-gathering for my MA Dance Education research. It has been such a privilege to gain insight into the experiences and perspectives of adult ballet returners. I am very grateful to all those who have shared their stories and given their time to be interviewed. I look forward to sharing the research findings towards the end of the year.

We are taking a one-week break from classes. I hope everyone gets a chance to rest and enjoy the lovely weather over this Bank Holiday and the half term week.

Classes start back on Monday 1st June. See you all then!

Here’s to ballet and opera! 🎉

Recent comments on social media got me thinking about what makes ballet and opera so special and what draws people to them.

Like many artforms, ballet and opera are about JOY and CONNECTION and the power to make us FEEL. And that's what makes them so important - and much needed!

As a ballet teacher to adult learners, I’ve seen that power in action during class. Here are just a few examples:

· The adult ballet returner, silently crying tears of emotion as the music begins for pliés during their first ballet class in more than fifteen years.

· The adult ballet beginner who delights in finding that learning ballet gives them a new - challenging - but beautiful way to express themselves.

· Countless adult learners with demanding jobs, busy family lives, juggling all the unexpected, difficult moments that life can throw at us, finding a moment of peace, space and time for themselves through the joy of a weekly ballet class.

· The older adult who discovers social connection and friendship through taking a weekly ballet class (I have one group that now meet up to go to ballet performances together!)

· The dance participant who ‘never got the chance to dance’ as a child, who discovers it is never too late to enjoy ballet!

These experiences matter and they are relevant and they are very much worth caring about!

What does learning ballet mean to you?
