Specialists in Seated Exercise
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I have vivid memories of my grandparents getting so much joy from music and dance. Getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop dancing and in their later years, they spent hours listening to Frank Sinatra and tapping their feet, reminiscing about their dancing days when they met one another, fell in love and started the rest of their lives together.
Dance RS offers interactive seated exercise sessions in a variety of settings – from in your own living room to community groups and care homes. The emphasis is on exercise, strength and balance with a range of props including top hats, canes, pom-poms and any other props that maintain focus and entertain!
The sessions are specifically devised to suit the individual’s physical, cognitive and emotional needs… and all music tastes are catered for! Sessions can be on a weekly or monthly basis and will last approximately 30 – 40 minutes. Please get in touch to discuss how Dance RS can work with you or your group.
EXTRACT FROM DIARY: ‘WORKING AS A SEATED EXERCISE INSTRUCTOR IN AN ELDERLY CARE HOME’
“Growing old should be an enjoyable experience. I always wanted to grow up and be a responsible adult. However, growing old has so many negative connotations with this term.
I have worked in numerous care settings where a number of residents seem deflated, demoralised and to an extent, angry and frustrated. These people have led exciting lives; they have experienced decades of love, happiness and sadness. They have worked in a variety of jobs, raised families, helped invent new ideas and creations.
Yet, their sparkle and zest for life has faded. They deserve admiration, respect and joy in their later years. And this is why I love teaching seated exercise Dance RS style!
You are reigniting their joy, passion and ability to seek new challenges. They welcome smiles, energy and empathy. The sessions are helping them to strengthen, to remain mobile and independent whilst encouraging social interaction. The music turns on, the uplifting beat fills the room – the session is not only facilitating all important exercise, you are recreating so many fantastic memories.
It is an extremely rewarding job – dancing alongside people who really know how to enjoy life and have a party! Dance RS sessions allow everyone to be involved, make some noise and be heard!”
