DanceWise is a therapeutic movement programme designed specifically for aged care settings. Each class offers gentle, seated movements tailored to improve mobility, balance, and cognitive function. Led by trained movement practitioners, DanceWise promotes physical well-being while fostering social interaction and emotional connection, creating a joyful and supportive experience for all participants.
DanceMoves is Dance Health Alliance’s progressive movement programme that supports older adults to safely transition from seated to standing exercise as their confidence and ability grow.
