GLAD inc. provides personalised therapeutic dance programs facilitated by accredited Wu Tao dance instructors in aged care facilities and homes. The sessions are most effective when offered on a weekly basis and are suitable for low care, high care and people with dementia.
The programs are tailored to the participating individuals and cater for mobility modifications and the varying needs of participants’ care and assistance.
We recommend a maximum of 20 participants per session with at least 1 staff member in attendance to support people with mobility or cognitive impairment. This ensures everyone can participate and receive full benefit from the program. Sessions run for 30-50 minutes depending on individual needs.
The investment for our six x 40 minutes session program is currently $900 (ex GST).
We also run trainings for occupational therapy assistants and care staff who are interested in learning how to facilitate our therapeutic Stretch Dance Relax program.
