Love to Dance
Supporting the
health and creativity
of older people through inspirational, movement led arts activity.
Love to Dance was an Arts Council funded project supporting the physical, mental and social well-being of older people through high quality creative arts provision, particularly dance. Consisting of two strands of work, a team of community dancers worked in care home settings and also in developing a number of companies of active older dancers in Devon and Somerset.
Love to Dance Sharing Day
Groups from Exeter, Crediton, Sidmouth and North Curry performed specially commissioned work as part of the Crediton Festival. The groups worked with each other in workshops followed by performances in the afternoon.
Love to Dance
ran groups in Devon
and Somerset.
A key strand of our work was developing new and existing dance groups for older people, who met regularly to create work, go and see exciting dance, organise dance parties and occasionally perform at events.
