Dance Exercises with Elderly persons

Collaborating with care providers and community centers to lead dance exercises for elderly and neurological patients

 

We developed a dance program to work with elderly persons with limited mobility. The exercises are in sitting position and are arm/hand movements accompanied by music.

The subjects are encouraged to move in their own pace and style, basically improvising.

The music selection could be classical or having cultural significance for the subjects. Its melodic component should have prevalence over the rhythmic component to encourage an improvising manner of the movements.

If you want to help with the project or you know someone who can benefit from the project, you can request more information in this form.
