I Feel Better When I'm Dancing
(2016) Fleming, Katelyn
Dancing provides many great benefits to occupational therapy. The DVD titled I Feel Better When I’m Dancing contains six different dances that can be easily utilized in practice. Each dance on the DVD is taught through step-by-step instructions that can be easily followed. The dances can be used with any population and in any setting. Adaptations can be made for each dance for different physical, cognitive, sensory, perceptual, and psychosocial concerns.
Shake and Shuffle
(2018-04) Johnston, Sarah
For as long as I can remember, my father has always loved music. He enjoys listening to music, dancing to the music, and attending events that involve music. His Parkinson’s disease has taken away a lot of what he loves to do and has created many struggles for him yet he still continues to dance and sing wholeheartedly. I created this event to gather other individuals with Parkinson’s and their caregivers or loved ones to allow them a chance to catch a glimpse of my father’s positivity and his love for music. Dancing has many benefits to help him maintain his independence for as long as possible by providing a fun workout to promote whole body wellness.
