Dance Party!
Grove & get down to your favorite music while improving your coordination, flexibility, and endurance.
Please dance with caution, being mindful not to exceed your physical limits. Take breaks as needed, and hydrate frequently. Monitor your heart rate and perceived exertion level (how challenging the activity feels). This activity is intended to be fun and stimulating. If any unexpected issues arise, stop immediately and consult your doctor.
Dancing with your care recipient might take some getting used to, but it can add an element of stabilization to the activity. Partner dancing will improve coordination, timing, endurance, and more.
