The aim of the pilot project was to evaluate the benefits to health and wellbeing of dance and arts activities that were stimulating and developed for and with older people in Medway and Gravesend. Both physiological and psychosocial areas of health and wellbeing were assessed via pre-test and post-tests plus interviews. Results showed improved shoulder mobility and improvements in posture and balance. This demonstrates the potential for improvements in wellbeing for older people thought dance.
