Adult ballet classes in Rutland will start in January 2020 at the Victoria Hall, Oakham

If the words ‘ballet lessons’ brings to mind children bouncing about in tutus, then prepare to pirouette to a different viewpoint.

Vanessa Burzynski is bringing ‘Silver Swans’ ballet - aimed at the over 55s - to Oakham following the success of similar classes in Leicestershire.

Having started as a pilot scheme initiated by the Royal Academy of Dance, Vanessa's classes are aimed at complete beginners through to those who trained as children and have picked up their ballet shoes once more.
