We’re proud to see our own Judy Given featured in Dementia Spring's Dementia Arts Spotlight. Read how creative expression through dance and movement engages those living with dementia in culture and community.
💃 What if dance could help us reconnect?
This week's Dementia Arts Spotlight features Dance for All by Judy Given and Abe's Garden Community.
Designed for seniors of all abilities, including people living with dementia, the program uses accessible dance and movement to create opportunities for connection, self-expression, joy, and community.
From ballet and tap to salsa, Hawaiian, Indian, and more, Dance for All celebrates the idea that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of movement.
✨ Judy has even seen participants who were initially withdrawn begin responding to the music and joining in.
