DANCE FOR LIFE
DanceEast. New Adventures & Re:Bourne and Dementia Pathfinders. Matthew Bourne - Choreographer and Director. United Kingdom.
Program Description
“…and we’ve just heard the most extraordinary stories about how some of the people who hadn’t even been standing are up and dancing…”
-James Mackenzie-Blackman Executive Director New Adventures & Re:Bourne, Dance For Life Mini-Documentary
“…the carer’s role will be left at home for a few hours each week and the classes will help improve carer and non-carer relationships.”
“The classes create the opportunity to socialize with like-minded people, benefit from improved mental and physical wellbeing and most importantly have fun in a high quality, energizing dance class.”
