What people think of us...

“I started ballet classes with Saltaire Swans 2 months ago with the aim of improving my general fitness after several years of living with chronic health problems. 

 

Ever since my first class, ballet on Tuesday mornings plus practice in between, has become an important part of my life in more ways than I had imagined. 

 

I can already feel the change in my physical fitness, balance and strength. In addition, Sammy’s teaching, full of support and compassion, as well as her brilliant ballet wisdom and practice, has enabled me to start gaining some confidence and belief back in myself in other areas of my life, after some really difficult times. “

 

Thanks so much for being so great 💚

"I've had balance issues for several years now and needed to do something more than the physiotherapy exercises to improve.  This ballet class does just that.  Sammy and the Gang are fabulous, approachable, friendly, encouraging and warm.  I've enjoyed the class from the word "Go" and don't want it to stop."

"I was a little apprehensive as I have never set foot in a ballet class before but had no need to worry. Sammy is encouraging and her love for dance and music is infectious.  My posture and balance is improving, co-ordination and balance getting better - and it's fun!"
