Having worked with elders with dementia over the past 30 years, I know the effectiveness of dance movement therapy. I walk into a room where each person is in her own world, not communicating. I put on music and dance or move rhythmically with people, and suddenly they are attentive, engaged, smiling and communicating for at least parts of the hour group I lead.
