Wu Tao Dance Therapy has proven to be an effective activity with all residents. Residents present as unsettled and anxious before the commencement of the dance therapy session and are displaying numerous behaviours such as sundowning and wandering. The group brings all of the residents together and gives them something active to focus on which reduces the amount of residents wandering and displaying agitative symptoms. The music used in the session calms the residents and reduces their stress. After the session is finished, the residents are content and willing to sit in the lounge area and listen to music. There is a reduction in the amount of residents rambling and confusion after the session. it is an fantastic program and an asset to Carinya.
