East London Dance was the lead delivery partner for Dance to Health in London and they worked with the partners Amicus Horizon and Redbridge Jewish Community Centre. The aim of Dance to Health was to use dance to increase older people’s strength and balance and so reduce falls and falls-related hospital admissions by up to 55%. They organised regular classes twice a week for 2 hours in both centres, and each has a social element where participants had a cup of tea and talk about their week.
