Dance for Joy at Chipping Barnet Library

The aim is to create an authentic disco experience with music chosen by revellers.

The intention is to promote healthy ageing, and the initiative takes inspiration from countries such as Japan and South Korea, whose populations continue to participate in dance and movement activities as they grow older.

Dance for Joy holds the potential to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, to improve fitness, and to improve feelings of subjective wellbeing and happiness.

This is an opportunity for older adults to dance to their favourite songs in a relaxed environment. There will be no routines or choreography, just freestyle dancing and socialising.

This is a drop-in session for older adults, no booking required.
