We create a physical transformation through dance, taking participants beyond the disease and reconnecting with the identity of the individual.

RESEARCH & RATIONALEIn a climate where governments, health organisations and health insurers are looking for answers to global epidemics such as MS, Parkinson's, other related health problems and ageing populations, Dance Health Alliance Australia (DHA) upholds that dance in all its multi-facets has a significant role to play in the health and wellness of individuals, communities and the general public. Dance is perfectly positioned to support the public health sector, providing proactive, cost effective solutions to the global wellness challenges.Recent research now positions dance ahead of other physical activity in terms of its impact. Documented global benefits range from enhancing brain-body reaction time, coordination, fall prevention, agility, balance to influencing endocrine-psychological states such as confidence and risk-taking. It also has a calming effect on the immune system, the root of many of today's chronic health challenges, and has the transformative power to promote new brain synapse connections and cognitive reserve at any age, slowing the rate of brain deterioration.
