CLASSES
At Creative Caring, we believe that dance is for everyone!
Our classes are designed specifically for individuals facing chronic movement restrictions, including those with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. We focus on building a supportive community using the power of dance to enhance physical strength and mental focus, boost confidence, and improve quality of life.
Join us in celebrating movement and connection!
Dance For Seniors/over 55s
The senior dance courses focus on fun, involvement in group activity and an
exploration of one’s creative side. The physical attributes to this course highlight group
engagement, improve stability, coordination, rhythmical ability and overall joy of
dance and movement.
Participants always leave these sessions feeling empowered and confident.
The course encourages like-minded people to participate in a social activity that
is both fun and good for their health and well-being. Dance enables people to interact with
community members - it is a vital social tool to curb isolation; one of the main issues for the seniors, particularly those who live alone.
​
Currently, Creative Caring's public dance theatre sessions are hosted by the Creative Learning Centre at the Sydney Opera House, titled, SPRING FOR SENIORS.

Moving with Memories
(Silent Disco)
Dance sessions for people experiencing various stages of dementia. This class is conducted in a relaxed and open environment using music as the main stimulus for movement motivation.
Participants wear headphones and dance freely to music specifically chosen to stimulate memories from the participants. They will come alive to the music that was a big part of their earlier years when dancing was their regular recreational activity.
Intergenerational dance Workshop
(for seniors and children)
An Intergenerational Dance Workshop is centered around the simple idea that old and young can bring new energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm to each others’ lives.
It is no secret that dance has a powerful effect on us both physically & psychologically.
This specialized workshop creates a safe space for juniors and seniors to interact with each other through dance-based activities and play.
It engaged the hearts of both groups with a shared love of dance through physical and social interaction. Hearts light up as the sense of joy and abandonment takes over the room.
