CIRCLE DANCE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA
Thank you for coming to find out more about this opportunity.
We are expanding our Circle Dance provision for people living with dementia
Would you like to train to be a trainer?
We are adding to our Dementia Pathfinders team of Circle Dance Trainers and can offer training or a refresher course to persons with experience in Circle Dance. If you think this could be you and you would like to join our team of Associates, please contact us by email info@dementiapathfinders.org
Or perhaps you would like to gain knowledge on how to deliver Circle Dance sessions within your own care setting. There are still places available to book on our open course next month, delivered in person by our Associate trainer, Liv McLennan.
As part of our ongoing efforts to expand the reach of Circle Dance for people living with dementia, we are excited to offer a Train the Trainer program. This training will be free of charge and is designed for those who are already familiar with circle dance and wish to become trainers themselves, enabling them to share this valuable practice with others.
The Train the Trainer sessions will be held at various points throughout the year. Specific dates will be shared in advance, allowing participants to plan accordingly. Liv McLennan, an experienced practitioner in circle dance and dementia care, will deliver the training. Liv brings a wealth of expertise in both the art of circle dance and the unique needs of people living with dementia.
To be eligible for this training, participants must meet the following criteria:
-
Completion of Circle Dance Training
-
Completion of Dementia Awareness Training
-
Active experience practicing circle dance with people living with dementia
This ensures that all participants have the necessary background and hands-on experience to successfully become trainers themselves, spreading the benefits of circle dance to more individuals and communities across the country.
For further information on our Train the Trainer programme please contact info@dementiapathfinders.org
Steering Group
A steering group will be formed, consisting of a psychotherapist, circle dance practitioner, and dance therapist. This group will provide strategic oversight, guide the development of the Circle Dance program, and ensure effective coordination, maintaining best practices throughout the initiative.
