Dance and Seniors
The year 2023 was dedicated to exploring the connections that can be woven between dance and the elderly. Dance, like any other physical activity, offers numerous benefits, both cognitive and physical. It also plays a role in preventing disorders, particularly neurodegenerative ones, and symptoms associated with aging. Lastly, it helps break isolation and regain a sense of autonomy.
This year's theme was punctuated by a host of initiatives, including dance discovery workshops, professional training courses (particularly for Parkinson's sufferers), sit-down dance workshops in nursing homes, and the organization of an international "Dance with the Elderly" conference in September.
In view of the enthusiasm encountered, we are perpetuating these initiatives and organizing, once again in 2024, activities specifically designed for our seniors, particularly in nursing homes.
Do you work at or manage a nursing home? Are you interested in organizing adapted dance activities for your residents? Contact us!
These activities and initiatives, which we consider essential, are primarily organized based on donations, and their sustainability depends on it. If you would like to make a donation to Quand on Danse, please note that it is tax-deductible starting from 40 euros. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Our workshops are led by professionals trained to teach adapted and/or inclusive dance.
We offer regular training courses and support professionals in setting up workshops on a range of health, well-being and inclusion themes.
Are you a professional dancer, a dance teacher, dance therapist or other movement professional interested in our project?
