Celebrating Human Connection Through Dance

The Nursing and Rehabilitation Home Performance Program provides free and high-quality access to the performing arts for people who are nursing home bound or in a rehabilitation center. Dina Denis and DIL have been providing these enriching experiences for seniors since 2003.

The Seniors Dance! Program is a chair based dance program designed to relieve stress, elevate mood, increase endurance, balance, coordination and flexibility. We use breathing techniques, dance-based strengthening and stretching exercises along with skillful choreography for our students' overall mind and body wellness.
