About Silver Dragonflies
Real dance for real adults
Silver Dragonflies offers real dance classes designed especially for adults aged 60 and over—though we warmly welcome anyone who feels this is the right fit for them.
A range of styles and levels
We offer:
-
Ballet, jazz, tap, and contemporary
-
Multiple levels for both beginners and experienced dancers
​
You’ll find Silver Dragonflies classes listed on our full timetable, so you can choose the style and time that suits you best.
Designed for your stage of life
What makes these classes different is our deep understanding of the physical, cognitive, and social needs of dancers in their third act.
We design classes that:
Build strength, flexibility, and balance
Keep minds sharp and spirits high
Challenge you in thoughtful, supportive ways
Not fitness. Not “gentle.” Just dance.
These are not follow-along fitness classes. You’ll learn:
-
Real dance technique
-
Musicality, artistry, and choreography
-
Optional performance opportunities (only if you’re keen!)
Tailored movement, without pressure
You’ll find fewer turns, jumps, and floorwork than in our mixed-age classes—but we offer options for those who enjoy them.
You’re never expected to do anything that doesn’t feel right for your body. We offer choices so you can grow in ways that are safe, satisfying, and truly your own.
​
Strength. Confidence. Joy.
This isn’t a “gentle” class that assumes you’re past it.
It’s a space that meets you where you are—and helps you grow in strength, confidence, connection, and skill.
We don’t see you as old or frail. We see you as someone who’s simply been on the planet longer—with stories, spirit, and so much still to explore through dance.
Why dance in your third act?
Dancing in your 60s, 70s, and beyond isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. Whether you're new to dance or returning after a long break, the benefits are far-reaching and deeply rewarding.
