The Dancing Through Difficulty Project

​

The Dancing Through Difficulty Project is a year-long service/research project offering online arts programming for adults 50+. Project members engage with activities and exercises which aid in the development of skills in self-reflection, action-oriented goal making, non-verbal communication, active listening, building interdependence in their community, collaboration and shared leadership. Additionally, this project builds upon research in creative aging, analyzing how art affects the physical, emotional, mental, and social health of senior adults. The projects' mission is to make arts education accessible to the aging adult community, and to use a variety of artistic mediums as a way of sharing stories, addressing health disparities, and transforming our local communities. 

 

The Dancing Through Difficulty Project is generously funded by the Albert-Schweitzer Fellowship, the Vera Blaine Special Project Fund, and the Helen Alkire Dance Fund.
