Experience the joy of our Dance for Dementia classes, which are specifically designed for people living with Dementia, their families, friends and carers.

Our dance classes, accompanied by live music, are designed to engage the body and mind. They are inspired by ballet and contemporary dance techniques and include seated and standing exercises for all abilities. Led by our experienced team of Associate Artists, classes are supported by a team of volunteers.

Social time with refreshments follows the practical dance classes.

All ages and experience levels are welcome.

I felt like a flower opening, I felt nothing but pleasure and all my worries disappeared.
