Dance to Health: a falls prevention dance programme for older people

Dance to Health is a nationwide pioneering community dance programme for older people. It combines evidence-based falls prevention principles with the creativity, expression and energy of dance. The sessions are led by professional dance artists from leading dance companies who have been fully trained and qualified in falls prevention exercise methods.

Currently we are running sessions in Birmingham, Cheshire, Norfolk, Oxfordshire, South Wales and Yorkshire. The programme is currently recruiting volunteers to help run sessions in these areas and the programme is ready to be commissioned in other areas.

Dance to Health was devised and is managed by Aesop, a social enterprise and charity.
