School for Swans Prepares for Recital

"The Seasons" written by Russian composer Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov was the music behind the dance at the recital on Thursday afternoon, May 22. Since 1975, for Swans has been turning Alexandria’s little swans into young ballerinas and tap dancers. Beginning at age 4 and continuing through age 15-plus, students learn classical ballet, tap, pointe and creative movement from Grace Manly Machanic. Under her instruction, the school has graduated more than 3,000 swans. For more information on classes visit www.schoolforswans.com
