I started silver swans ballet with Emma in September and have loved every minute! Never having dancing lessons as a child this was my opportunity to have a go! Emma is a lovely teacher and explains everything with easier options if necessary. Ballet is great for keeping your fitness up also balance and memory! Its great that we are able to keep attending lessons even in lockdown!— Pam Jones

As a retired Art teacher with 35 years service myself I know a great teacher when I see one.
Emma is kind, patient and totally in charge. Couple this with an obviously deep understanding and knowledge of dance she is a creative and successful tutor. I enjoy every lesson . Emma exudes grace and tranquillity at all times. I leave the classes feeling positive and elated.— Jacqueline Ubhi

Emma is a great teacher and makes every lesson enjoyable. Although we're not able to meet in class at the moment, each Zoom class brings something new and Emma keeps up the momentum of our learning week by week. Silver Swans is a brilliant way to keep fit and active whilst learning new skills and an appreciation of the beauty of ballet. Thank you Emma!— Liz Heath

Emma is a true professional with a lovely teaching style. Her classes are really enjoyable, clear and precise demonstrations making the exercises easy to follow. I have only been able to experience online classes due to the lockdown but look forward to attending classes in person when we are able.— Annie Watto
