“Coming to dance is a cuddle for myself. It’s the whole package — it’s great exercise, I get to be with others, having fun and being uplifted. It works my brain and the music is wonderful. It’s the best thing that has happened to me in years.”
— H.M., 87, dance participant for 8 years
Movement can change lives
Too many older Australians are living in silence — isolated, inactive, and without access to programs that truly engage them. Half of all adults over 65 give up on exercise within six months. Not because they want to, but because nothing speaks to them.
Our approach is tried and tested and opens the door for seniors who would otherwise be left out. Sound Moves 55+ delivers live and pre-recorded online dance sessions tailored for older adults — joyful, evidence-based, and designed to keep people moving and connected.
Sound Moves 55+ offers a library of high-quality movement sessions tailored for older adults at different ability levels. Your gift will support artists to create content, provide variety and expand diverse cultural offerings.
Our team strives for excellence by partnering with health and care providers to ensure our programs are safe, evidence-informed, and responsive to participants’ health needs as well as promote the health & wellbeing benefits of dance. Your support will enable us to build vital partnerships that work together for a common goal.
We nurture the next generation of dance for health artists and leaders through our provision of training and professional development. Your investment will support the continued development of the dance for health field to support seniors now and into the future.
