DEMENTIA FRIENDLY DANCE
We offer dementia friendly dance sessions to residential care homes and day care centres for the elderly. The sessions combine playful movement activities with social dance, offering a range of opportunities for participants to take part. We use music from a variety of cultures and social eras, and we are always open to requests. A range of props will be used to encourage movement.
​
Sessions encourage social interaction. We aim to bring a team of dance buddies who will talk to residents, dance with them while they are seated or standing, and we will also sing along to many of the songs.
​
Depending on funding we are sometimes able to offer a series of 3 free sessions to care homes, and then further sessions will carry a fee.
