PAVILION Dance South West is collaborating with Arts 4 Dementia as part of its Reawakening: Living Well with Dementia in Dorset 2017 programme.
There will be a series of eight weekly creative dance classes for people with mild memory loss and their companions, taking place at Pavilion Dance’s venue in Bournemouth.
The initiative behind the Reawakening programme is to offer weekly arts sessions for people with mild memory loss and dementia, as well as special dementia awareness training for arts providers, enabling the long-term sustainability of dementia-friendly arts across the county.
The classes are free and will take place on Fridays from 10am to 11.30am from March 24 to May 19 (excluding April 14) and will be led by Aimee Smith and Dr Sophia Hulbert, who currently teach Pavilion Dance’s flagship Parkinson’s Dance and Older and Perfect (OAP) classes. No previous dance experience necessary.
Registration forms can be downloaded from the Pavilion Dance South West website.
