'Time to Dance' - Stroke rehabilitation

'Time to Dance' is a pilot project developed between Moving Minds and White Cross Court Rehabilitation hospital in York, which aims to explore the impact on dance for people recovering from a stroke.

Our eventual aim is to develop a creative dance programme which can help support individuals on their journey to recovery. Dance can help people recovering from a stroke improve their balance, coordination, strength and mobility. Exploring with curiosity and connection can help someone who has experienced stroke, come to terms with the changes it brings, and find news ways to express themselves on their terms.

The response from staff and patients so far has been very positive and we hope to continue developing this work.
