"I was nervous about attending my first class, I hadn’t danced since I was 10 years old, but I needn’t have worried, and soon felt at home. The classes help to keep the body fit and the mind focussed! We all make mistakes, but that’s part of the fun, and we have a good laugh at ourselves.
Laucinda makes sure everyone is kept safe and shows adaptations for those who require it. Laucinda is a bundle of fun and I leave each class with my spirits lifted and make my way to the cafe with some of my classmates for a cuppa and a chat. It’s great! "
" My Silver Swans class has been such a game changer for me.
I had a brutal accident, which almost lost my hand.
As a result, I was anxious & very cautious with regards to ‘movement’
However my confidence is returning, I have more poise & improvement in cognitive reasoning with movement. I’m feeling more strength in my legs & inner core, plus more energy!
Apart from the physical benefits, I find it fun & we have laughter. No one feels awkward about how they cope with the dance steps. We just move & feel the joy! "
" I am so thankful we have Laucinda in our world to bring us such joy and the chance to come together as a group to learn more about this wonderful form of movement.
We are always spreading the word about her classes and she consistently has a waiting list, which is testament to how she runs her Silver Swans sessions."
