Dance for Health Interventions during a Global Pandemic... and Beyond

Dance for health educators bring the power of dance to a wide range of populations, all of whom face unique challenges in isolation. What's more, many of these students are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, so while studios around the world cautiously begin to reopen, it is likely that many dance for health teachers will continue to work with their students in a virtual format. In order to support these important educators, this panel invited members of the IADMS Dance for Health Committee to discuss their work during this global pandemic and consider the future of their field.
This panel was recorded live on June 6, 2020 in the Science for Dance Educators Facebook group.
Guests:
Clare Guss-West (MA) is the chair of the IADMS Dance for Health committee and a specialist in ‘Dance, Health & Ageing’ who runs repertoire-based programmes for Senior wellbeing in Theater and Carehome environments.
Emily Jenkins (MA) is a Dance Artist and Producer working in participatory dance. She is also specialised in the area of Dance and Health and is Founder of a project for women living with and beyond cancer called Move Dance Feel
