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.

Please complete the form to enquire about our sessions. Many thanks to Sussex Community Foundation, RTR and Magic Little Grants for supporting and subsidising our work.

​
