Dancing for Health

Dance is a great form of exercise which provides a range of physical and mental benefits including improved heart and lung function, stronger bones; increased flexibility, co-ordination, muscle tone and balance. Most importantly, dance is fun!

We work alongside dance instructors who come into the hospital to deliver dance sessions to children and families in the ward playrooms, or at the bedside.

Dance instructor Christina works closely with the hospital’s physiotherapy team to develop individually tailored sessions for each child, in order to help aid their recovery.

Practitioners from Theiya Arts also deliver enchanting performances and Indian dance sessions, pairing dancing with storytelling to spark children’s imaginations.
