Belly Dancing in Care Homes
Started 2015. A pilot project to help people in care homes have more fun and get more exercise through belly dancing. Being physically active is a challenge for many people as they get older. People who live in care homes face even higher risks of falls and significant health problems and even fewer connections with their communities as a result.
