The Silver Swans are opening up their ballet classes at The Gateway in Shrewsbury to the public on Thursday, October 24 to raise money for MacIntyre Charity and music therapy.
Jane Jones, from Myddle, near Shrewsbury, is 72 herself and has been teaching ballet for an incredible 50 years.
Her group, which meets several times a week and has a staggering 70 people attending in total, is part of a national movement that was started by the Royal Academy of Dance.
"We're not exclusively a ladies' group," said Jane.
"Robin Benie has a dance background and teaches historic dances. He and his partner will be giving a Dance Before Ballet demonstration."
