Park House care home has always echoed with laughter and chatter, but lately, a new rhythm has been added to the mix: the infectious beat of music and the shuffling of dancing feet.
Dancing is one of those activities deeply ingrained in our collective memories. From jiving at local dance halls to swaying at family weddings, many of us at Park House have countless memories tied to dancing.
Bringing music and dance to Park House wasn’t just about reliving old memories; it was about creating new ones. The beauty of dance is that it transcends age and physical limitations. With a little bit of music, and a whole lot of encouragement, even those of us who thought their dancing days were over had been gently coaxed back onto the ‘dance floor’.
But the beauty of our musical exercise sessions isn’t just in the dance itself. It’s in the myriad of benefits that come along with it. As we move to the beat, we’re not just having fun; we’re also improving our balance, coordination and flexibility. What’s more, dance has this magical ability to uplift our spirits, combat feelings of isolation, and enhance our cognitive functions.
One of the standout aspects of these sessions is that they don’t feel like exercise. There’s no pressure, no strict routines to follow. It’s all about letting the music take over, feeling the rhythm and moving however our body wishes to. It’s exercise in its purest, most joyous form.
