Dance to Health is a pioneering nationwide falls prevention dance programme for older people. Combining movement from evidence-based physiotherapy programmes with the creativity, expression and energy of dance, Dance to Health reduces the risk of an older person suffering a fall.
The Dance to Health Programmes use evidence-based falls prevention exercise programmes within a creative dance class. Each programme runs one dance session per week over six months plus a small amount of homework; a total of 50 hours.
The Assistant Dance Artist roles are to assist the Dance Artist in delivering a falls prevention dance programme.
