I joined Alyson’s ‘Silver Swan’ classes a year ago and they’ve changed my life! I absolutely love our ballet work-outs, which have continued seamlessly through lockdown via ‘Zoom’. Each class combines barre and floor work, and Aly introduces new exercises and music every few weeks so there’s no chance of getting bored (or complacent!). And we’ve all improved so much over the last year, it’s amazing to see.
I studied ballet as a child but hadn’t danced for 50+ years, so initially was a bit doubtful whether my body would cope, given a dodgy back and knees. But Aly adapts and tailors our ballet exercises as necessary so that the class is very inclusive and, above all, it’s also sociable and FUN!
Aly’s sunny personality lifts all our spirits in these tough times and she’s a wonderful teacher. Her classes have been a highlight of my week during the past twelve months - I’d recommend them to everybody.”

I have been attending Alyson’s Sliver Swans classes for almost 2 years and whether they are in the studio or via Zoom they not only give my body a thorough workout but add humour and fun to these hard times. Alyson keeps us on our toes (literally!) by changing the routines and challenging not only our minds but our bodies as well. All of this is done in a gentle, relaxed and fun manner. We are a mixed group of abilities but we are all made to feel like beautiful Silver Swans…regardless of where our arms or legs are! A joy and highlight of my week. Thank you Alyson.
