Project title
ADAGIO - Relaxare în pași de dans
Description of initiative
ADAGIO offers recurrent free dance classes to older people in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in order to improve their physical, mental and social health. The classes are conducted by professional choreographers, pro-bono. The elderly are selected from the municipality's day center and seniors' clubs. Also, before the pandemic, HEPA organized every year a dance festival for the beneficiaries. The benefits of dance in older adults have already been proven in numerous studies and include: improved balance, muscle strength, bone density, mood, social inclusion etc.
