Inclusive, accessible, fun, social, dementia-friendly dance for older people, with tea and cakes

Join us to dance together and enjoy tea and cakes in the Arthur Easton Centre at St Michael's Hospice.

This event will be inclusive and accessible to all adults, along with their friends and carers. It is particularly for participants who are older, and those with dementia.

We aim to foster social connection and expression of music through partner dancing in all its different forms, including in hold, or holding hands or dancing sharing scarves etc.

We will play a mix of music, including ballroom, jive/rock n roll, jazz, lindy hop, samba and disco.

Experienced dance facilitators will lead some dance activities for everyone to join in with, and facilitate freestyle dancing. They will be helped by our volunteer dance buddies. We will have scarves of different sizes to aid connection and creativity.

Tickets for this event are subsidised thanks to generous donations from The King Charles Community Fund, the YAPP foundation and the Ernest Kleinworth Trust. Tickets cost £5 per older participant and carers came for free,
