About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Join us to dance together and enjoy tea and cakes in the Arthur Easton Centre at St Michael's Hospice.

This event will be inclusive and accessible to adults with disabilities and dementia, along with their friends and carers. We aim to foster social connection and expression of music through partner dancing in all its different forms, including in hold, or holding hands or dancing sharing scarves etc. Particularly aimed at those who are elderly and those with dementia.

We will play a mix of music, including ballroom, jive/rock n roll, jazz, lindy hop, samba and disco.Experienced dance facilitators will lead some dance activities for everyone to join in with, and facilitate freestyle dancing. They will be helped by our volunteer dance buddies. We will have scarves of different sizes to aid connection and creativity.

This event is free thanks to generous donations from our Crowdfunding community and a grant from the Sussex Wellbeing Fund. Donations are always welcome!

When booking, please just book for one person and let us know in the comments if you will be bringing others.I
