We're looking for people who love music, dance and socialising to support our Dance to Health falls prevention groups in Croydon. Dance to Health combines dance with postural stability exercises to help to reduce falls in older people. Our classes provide a friendly, social environment for people to combat loneliness and isolation. We're looking for people aged 18+ with some experience of dance, movement, physical therapies or sport. As a Dance Support volunteer, you will participate in the dance sessions, offering encouragement and support to other group members. You might provide one-to-one support for those that need it to make sure everyone gets the help they need. You might help to demonstrate seated options under the direction of the Dance Artist. You could make tea and coffee at the end of the session or just have a friendly chat to participants to help to create a welcoming atmosphere. Dance to Health groups run weekly and each session lasts for 2 hours (90 minutes of activity and 30 minutes for refreshments and socialising).
