Dance To Health
Take Art joined forces with Aesop to deliver a fantastic new project at Dunkirk House in Bishops Lydeard, which was part of the national project Dance To Health; a pioneering ‘falls prevention’ dance programme for older people. Groups were led by trained dance artists who embed evidence based falls prevention exercise in creative, fun, sociable dance session for older people who had been suffering falls or at risk of falling.
Who Did it Impact?
We were glad to see the difference this project made to the lives of the 12 dementia patients who took part. Dance to Health also allowed us to recruit Somerset based dance artists and help them achieve ‘Later Life Training’.
