WHO
Cheshire Dance developed Wanna Dance in collaboration with Vivo Care Choices and Ruth Spencer from the University of Central Lancashire.
HOW
Wanna Dance involves around 20 minutes of focused one-to-one dancing with a Dance Partner with PIMD at Vivo Care Choices Centres.
Wanna Dance involves recording and reviewing session observations and experiences so that - over time - an individual movement profile can be created for each Dance Partner. More information can be found in our Resources Hub.
