Dance and Dementia Project: findings from the pilot study

This pilot study explored the role of dance in maintaining and developing relationships between people with dementia, and between people with dementia and those who care for and support them. The project ran a series of dance movement sessions at a day centre in Brighton and Hove. Data was gathered through engagement and observation by researchers and creative practitioners involved in delivering the sessions, through interviews with participants and their carers and from reflections recorded by staff working with the participants.
