Dance

Living Well with Dementia runs a weekly ‘Movement to Music’ Class which is led by Robert Connors, Artistic Director of the Dance Theatre of Ireland. The therapeutic effects of music and dance have been shown to increase self-awareness, encourage social interaction, help with depression, provide fun and healthy self-expression, maintain and, at times, improve memory and cognitive function. Dance/movement offers individuals the opportunity to be truly present, to engage in their senses, and to tap into their independence, individuality, and self-awareness. This is a very sociable and uplifting group with lots of joy and laughter.
