Moving Together, Growing Stronger

Dance On builds joy, strength, and connection in Doncaster care homes

Two women sat in chairs reach across to hold each others hands. Part of a Dance On session with darts in Doncaster.

darts is very excited to be working in partnership with 12 new care homes across our region over the next 3 years.

Our experienced dance artists from the Dance On programme will be working alongside the wonderful activity co-ordinator staff in each of these homes to support them in creating, developing or enhancing their offer of weekly joyful, effective, and safe movement-based sessions for their residents.

Along with families and staff, these sessions are specifically designed to enhance social connections within the care homes, build physical strength, grow confidence and enrich their experiences and opportunities together. By equipping each staff member with creative tools and training, this programme ensures care home residents can continue accessing regular, uplifting, beneficial and creative activity now and in the future, giving this work a very sustainable legacy.

This exciting collaboration highlights how creativity, care, and community can come together to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
