Hope Dances, formerly known as New Glory, was created to help improve the quality of life, mobility, and brain function in our senior community with a focus on people living with dementia. Using dance based activities, we offer its participants the opportunity to get moving in a safe and productive manner while lifting their spirits, keeping them social, and stimulating several areas of the brain. This program was developed with in a local senior living facility's memory care unit and can be adapted to the ability of each of its participants.
Since its creation, Hope Dances has not only served seniors living within memory care centers. It has been introduced to adults with developmental disabilities and brought to community centers for the general population. We are currently working on expanding Hope Dances to reach the youth population within the disabled community.
We would love to bring the vast benefits of dance to the world. If you would like us to bring our programs to your place of business or community you can reach us via email: Allegory.Dance@gmail.com
