This activity is especially for people who experience challenges in movement due to Parkinson's, MS, ADCA, CVA or rheumatoid arthritis, among others. This includes whether you can walk, stand, sometimes suffer from frostbite, or need a walker or wheelchair. If desired, you can join all exercises on a chair. We start the dance all seated anyway.

The most important thing is dancing together. After all, dancing is so much more than just moving. Through imagination and the rhythm of the music, moving becomes so much nicer (and easier) to do. Moreover, dancing with a whole group or with a partner gives a feeling of togetherness and extra energy.Everyone can participate to their own ability. No one is perfect, but everyone is unique.
We will go "loose" to music, dancing rhythmically and freely with expected fun. These are the ingredients to experience the joy of movement and what it can do to you, and for your condition, coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, posture and balance. Dancing will stimulate you in a different way, release extra energy and make you forget for a moment the daily challenges you have to deal with. Everyone can participate, regardless of age and mobility. Experience is not necessary, but is allowed.
Accompanied by Andrew Greenwood and Dido Mirck, over 120 people danced together in February 2023. For an atmospheric impression, see the attached video, which made it to the regional NOS Journaal on NPO1.
