This week Dr. Andrea Wilkinson talks with Rachel Bar about the power of dance and how it impacts our minds, bodies, and souls. Rachel is currently a PhD student studying dance in older adults, and also works at Canada's National Ballet School. Join us as Rachel takes us through her research journey – investigating how dance affects individuals with Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and other older adult populations. She also introduces us to the Sharing Dance Seniors program – jointly created by Baycrest and Canada’s National Ballet School, and talks about witnessing (firsthand) the physical, mental and psychosocial transformations people experience from joining one of her dance classes. Get your dancing shoes on for this brain workout!
