Programs
Central to the vision of DanceStream Projects is the use of dance as a social practice to elevate individuals' creative voices and promote their brain health.
DanceStream Projects brings artists and older adults and people living with dementia together to discover, write and present their own stories using dance.
Our sequential dance programs enhance tools of co-creative dance and storytelling while applying evidence-informed benefits of dance to support and extend brain health.
Programs for People Living with Dementia or Mild Cognitive Impairment
Stories in the Moment® partners with communities of people living with dementia to amplify their voice. This co-creative evidence-informed dance and storytelling program, is designed to boost brain health, support creativity, and expand resources for connection and communication.
Since 2020, we have reached almost 400 diverse people living with dementia across the United States and abroad through this program. Programs continue to be offered online through our longest collaborating partner, the Dementia Action Alliance, as well as local community, academic and cultural partners. Join us in supporting people living with dementia in your community to (re)integrate their voices into the fabric of society, spark their brain health while transforming narratives of dementia.
