Introduction to the Neuroscience of Dance - A Workshop and Movement Experience for 55+

Discover how dance can help you stay sharp, feel energized, and enjoy life more fully. This one-hour introductory class explores the powerful ways movement supports both brain and body health. Research shows that dance can boost memory, spark creativity, lift your mood, and even help prevent cognitive decline and dementia.

The session begins with a short, clear and engaging talk on the science of movement and aging, followed by a gentle, accessible movement practice. No dance experience is needed, and all activities can be adapted for any level of mobility.

This introductory class is just the beginning! A regular series of classes will follow, each focused on using dance and movement to support wellness and quality of life.
