SitFit class.  “I love our weekly dance class as it helps my mood, mobility and balance.  We are all at different stages and ages and laugh and learn together to music!  Thank you, Vanessa

I was thrown out of ballet classes at the age of about 4 and never dared return until Suki persuaded me to give it a go! I LOVE my Monday morning class with Suki. It is a great way to kick start the week and I can definitely feel the improvement in my strength and flexibility, as well as challenging my brain.”

“Ballet in Lockdown has been my saviour! Suki leads the classes expertly and makes them so much fun. It’s the quickest hour of the week.”

“Suki has provided much need fun, exercise and a sense of community. I was dreading winter lockdown but have thoroughly enjoyed the zoom classes, with a few live ones before lockdown. I have started ballet and tap at an age when most people are learning to knit or just sit and as a result feel fitter, younger and much happier. I also have more energy. Suki has made all this possible. I am so grateful.”

“Suki is an excellent dance teacher.  She gets the best out of the Silver Swans by encouraging us to work hard, but at the same time making the classes fun.  Suki inspires us and has kept us all going through these difficult times.”

“Suki is a professional, but definitely not a prima donna! We all feel good about ourselves in class.  I have a pair of practice ballet shoes and, between classes, I can be found pirouetting around the house and dreaming of the big stage. My class has a WhatsApp group, and we all feel very protective of Suki and one another.  This is so important in these uncertain times.  Thanks to these classes, we all have some good memories to take out into the world, once things change.”

“89 year old Ena says, ‘I really enjoy the camaraderie we share.  Suki is always great fun, her lessons are challenging but achievable.  The music is catchy and brings back so many memories. I am stronger and more confident since joining these classes.  My balance has improved, and I now walk long distances regularly as a consequence’.” 

“Suki’s classes provide a wonderful opportunity for a a fitness workout while, most importantly, being able to learn new or refresh dance techniques. Suki is always very clear in showing and explaining to us new techniques. Although always extremely professional she is very friendly and welcoming too. Her dance classes together with the music enable an exercise and environment which is very uplifting.”

“Suki is an inspirational teacher who has an infectious enthusiasm for dance for adults. She explains and demonstrates clearly and has coped admirably with running Zoom classes throughout the pandemic. She is also very sympathetic to those pupils who are not as mobile as they used to be, and willing to adapt where necessary.”

“I really look forward to Suki’s Silver Swans lessons. They work both body and brain and are challenging  but achievable . Definitely a fun, good, whole body workout!”

“Suki is a wonderful and professional dance teacher!  As Silver Swan students she is sensitive to our variety of limitations, while creating challenges we enjoy getting swept along to achieve. Love ballet! Love Suki’s dance classes!”
