‘Dancing with Dementia’ classes offer a chance for participants to experience creative movement and dance with their companions. Classes focus on stimulation of the brain through movement, repetition, props and musical timelines. These factors offer the opportunity to keep the mind alert whilst also unlocking support for general well-being. Sessions run for 1.5 hours in total which includes a 45 - 60 minute dance class and concludes with a social over tea & coffee. |
TBC | 11.00am - 12.30pm | |

Our RE: Generation classes welcome anyone who identifies as being in the older age range. By combining dance and movement in a sociable, enjoyable and welcoming environment, these sessions can help you remain mobile and feel the very positive effects for both body and mind that dance can provide. We combine seated and standing activities, and use props to help extend your range of movement so that everything we do can be adapted for you and your physical ability and confidence. All RE:Generation classes last for 45 - 60 minutes of dancing finishing in a social with refreshments. All classes cost £5.00 per participant. |
