Dance for everyone

The dance activities implemented by the Gävleborg authorities from Sweden work in different ways to make dance accessible to everyone, regardless their dance abilities or age. Through networking, continuing education, workshops and performances for children, young people and adults, the people of the region are invited to participate in the cultural life, experiencing the dance art. Several programs implemented in the region are:
- Dance for health: in the spring of 2020, a network group was initiated with trained instructors in dance for health.
- Dance and Parkinson's: in 2020, work on a national study regarding dance and Parkinson's has begun, in which representatives from various parts of Region Gävleborg's organization and Gävleborg's county participate.
- Dance for the elderly and people with various functional abilities: Kultur Gävleborg has produced material for lessons for leading dance classes
