Title: The Dancing Heart: Vital Elders Moving in Community.
Authors: Genné, Maria
Abstract: The Dancing Heart: Vital Elders Moving in Community engages the creative, cognitive, physical, and social needs of frail elders in Minneapolis/St. Paul and outlying communities in the metropolitan area. Created and led by Kairos Dance Theatre's Artistic Director Maria Genné, along with Kairos artist/educators, the award-winning Dancing Heart offers weekly interactive dance and storytelling-based workshops for older adults, family members and caregivers through partnerships with adult day programs, long term care facilities and community organizations. The Dancing Heart invites older adults to help co-create a new vision of dance—one that is inclusive of all ages, all bodies, and many different ways of moving.
