Dance classes for all mobilities
THE health benefits of music and dance have long been documented.
And for older adults and people living with Parkinson’s and other conditions affecting mobility, regular sessions can help stimulate both the body and mind.
Warrnambool’s Archie Graham Centre is this month launching an innovative and fun ‘Freedom Dance for Wellbeing’ program that is open to people of all ages and abilities.
Four free trial sessions will be on offer, to be held next Wednesday, July 30 and Wednesday August 6.
From 1.30pm-2.30pm instructor Diana Montes-Cooper will run a seated class (with options to stand and travel) for participants with limited mobility.
And from 3.30pm-4.30pm a ‘mostly standing class’ will be for participants who are able to move at a more energetic pace.
All classes will allow participants the opportunity to experience the joy of dancing, regardless of their mobility and skill, and to fuel their bodies with music and movement – all while having fun and forming new friendships.
Anyone wishing to join a class can contact the Archie Graham Centre on 5559 4920.
