We’re very excited to be part of ‘Unforgettable’ - a documentary which explores the power of creativity for people living with dementia. The filmmakers are crowdfunding towards its development - out later this year facebook.com/reel/736400714…
Delighted that our short film 'Dancing with Dementia' is part of this year's Moving Body Festival... movingbody.bg/en/2022/10/13/…
A key to building connections is by celebrating one another. Moving Minds consists of a community of individuals that acknowledge and celebrates the participation of every single person - no matter how big or small.
It’s that time of the week and we are all set for another hour of moving and grooving. Who’s joining us this afternoon? We still have a few places left for our sessions. If you would like to book your place or enquire please email us at [email protected]
We are so excited to welcome you back to the studio tomorrow 😄 What music would you like to move to as we dance our way into autumn? 🍁🍂
Hello movers and groovers! We hope you have had a lovely summer. 🌱🌞 Moving Minds sessions are back next Wednesday at 1:30pm, in the dance studio at York St John University. To contact us, or to book a space, email [email protected] or call Elaine on 07881 922343 😆
Have you heard us on the radio? 👂🏽 Tune into @thisisyo1 to hear our community action advert promoting Moving Minds! 🎙
Tomorrow is our final session before we break for the summer holidays. We start up again on the 7th September! If you would like to join us after the holidays, email us at [email protected] with your contact details and we will give you a call early September. 🌞
If Dementia was a dance, what would it be? Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Dance Elaine Harvey talked to @BBCYork yesterday about @MovingMindsYSJ and played insightful audio piece 'Dancing with Dementia'. Listen back on the @joncowap show at 11.15am. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
What a wonderful time we had yesterday, moving to The Ronettes, Elvis Presley & The Champs to name a few! Here’s a shot of the group freestyle dancing with our well-loved shaky eggs 😁🥚🕺🏻 Can you name the song?! #movingminds #dancingwithdementia #dementia #danceanddementia
RT @lucypgeridoc Many people don’t realise that dementia affects *everything * inc mobility. But also that treatable contributors to falling are often missed cos its ‘just the dementia’. And keeping moving is key for many 👍🐶#diversealz
Dance offers many health benefits, including better balance and coordination and a potential delay of dementia onset. Among the popular styles of dance for seniors are line dancing, ballroom, tap, and even belly dance === 👉drum.io/eldercaretexas
Whether you know someone living with dementia or not we would recommend getting your hands on this book. @WendyPMitchell gives a powerful and informative insight into what it is like living with dementia sharing anecdotes from her experience of living with early onset dementia.
