Dance Health Alliance™ invites you to participate in our exciting movement program. No dance experience necessary – inclusive to all ages and levels of mobility!
Dance Health Alliance™ offers three dance-based programs to individuals within the community, independent living communities, care homes, high care facilities, and community centres; DanceWell, DanceWise, and DanceMoves. Our programs are individually designed to target differing needs, including (but not limited to) movement restriction, cognitive conditions, rehabilitation, and mental health.
Dance Health Alliance™ is proud to offer a certified teaching faculty facilitating classes across NSW and QLD. We also train carers, therapists, medical and other allied health care professionals in our DanceWise™ program in order for them to incorporate our programs into their practices or facilities Australia-wide.
We invite you to join the Dance Health Alliance™ community and find your Freedom Through Movement.

“The DanceWise program has been a huge hit both with our residents and staff. It has been proven to be both safe, fun and effective, with some residents and their allied health specialists reporting significant improvements in balance and coordination. It is also a great social opportunity and is currently one of our most popular programs. Staff too have really appreciated the training and additional skills and it has increased job satisfaction amongst our leisure and lifestyle teams. The fact that staff can be trained to run the program makes it sustainable and means for an organisation like Whiddon, that delivers services to regional, rural and remote areas, that we can offer this great program to all of our residents.”
