A unique dance performance featuring residents of a local care facility is planned for early next week.
The Joy Through Dance recital will take place Monday at the St. Barnabas Kean Theatre and include many traditional ballroom dances such as the waltz, the rumba, and the cha-cha.
Over the past 10 weeks, skilled ballroom dancers have been training with residents dealing with early stage dementia for dance instruction that will hopefully lead to increased mobility, aid in music recall, and foster relationships.
This program is a partnership between the St. Barnabas Memory Care Services, the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Pittsburgh Ballroom organization.
