Since 2022, DanceStream Projects has been collaborating with Queens Center for Gay Seniors elders on the dance program “Rainbow Stories in the Moment”.
Located in Jackson Heights, Queen, the most diverse community in the US (48% foreign-born), this center serves LGBTQIA+ elders and allies, many of whom are first generation immigrants.
These diverse older adult dancers are modeling the power of dance for health!
-
“Let’s Move the World” is a dance created by over 20 diverse LGBTQIA+ elders and allies from the Queens Center for Gay Seniors in Jackson Heights, NY.
The dance celebrates resilience, wellbeing and belonging as a shared action.
These inspiring elders are not only improving their own health through dance, they are strengthening community and modeling what it means to thrive together.
-
Research indicates that LGBTQIA+ and immigrant elders face a 30% and 70% increased risk of dementia, respectively.
“Rainbow Stories” applies applies evidence-informed benefits of dance to support brain health while fostering social cohesion and cultivating creative expression.
Help us share this message of hope, wellbeing and solidarity!
