Moving into Maturity is a professional development day for people who are working or intending to work with older people, such as dance artists, health care professionals and others, to introduce some of the skills needed to lead dance sessions both seated and standing with older people.

Areas covered will include:

• establishing the valuable contribution to society of older people and the value of dance to older people
• acquainting participants with the structure and content of sessions for both active and more frail older people as practised by Green Candle
• allowing participants to share their own knowledge and experience of working with older peopleLed by Fergus Early and assisted by Green Candle staff, participants will take part in practical sessions as given to older people (standing and seated), including warm ups, stretching, a choreographed sequence and cool downs. A wide range of discussion about ageing and the empowerment of older people will be facilitated. Participants will have a special opportunity to work with members of our performance group, Green Candle Senior Dancers!
