The touch, holding, &nbsp;swaying, and simple repetitive movements allow the participant to feel &nbsp;safe within the circle and provides an opportunity for expression and &nbsp;creativity. The dance also provides an enjoyable form of exercise and &nbsp;movement.The aim and scope of the Circle DanceCircle &nbsp;Dance training aims to enable and skill up staff to provide their own &nbsp;movement and music sessions with their service users. Staff have &nbsp;welcomed an activity in which people with moderate/medium stage dementia &nbsp;can engage. It offers the opportunity for a shared activity with &nbsp;partners, relatives and carers. It can be used in residential and day &nbsp;settings, assessment units, NHS and voluntary organisation groups with &nbsp;older people, people with learning disability, mental health conditions, &nbsp;and physical disabilities. It can be offered at care home social &nbsp;events, and Alzheimer&#39;s Cafes.How has Circle Dancing been adapted for people with dementia?(including learning disability, older people with physical disabilities &amp; mental health conditions)Dance &nbsp;and movement have been successfully included in care provision &nbsp;activities since the 1940s. There is a body of research evidencing the &nbsp;promotion of well-being through making use of rhythm, touch and &nbsp;movement; moreover several practitioners/researchers have evidenced the benefits of using folk music with older people and people with dementia.From &nbsp;1996-2002, Dorothy Jerrome provided regular sessions in Brighton, which &nbsp;were evaluated and written up in dementia journals, and in a book on &nbsp;therapeutic dance. Building on Dorothy&rsquo;s work, Cynthia Heymanson and &nbsp;Kath Kershaw developed and adapted Circle Dance for people living with &nbsp;dementia and other health issues by training staff in care settings. &nbsp;Cynthia and Kath worked closely together to provide training across the &nbsp;UK to empower staff so they can feel confident to provide simple seated &nbsp;and standing dance and enjoy music and song.The &nbsp;management and delivery of Circle Dance, established by Kath and &nbsp;Cynthia, was transfer to Dementia Pathfinders in October 2013 and we &nbsp;have delivered many successful training sessions since then.Course Aim&nbsp;This &nbsp;one-day course will introduce participants to the use of Circle Dance &nbsp;and provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver &nbsp;circle dance sessions in their own settings.The &nbsp;course is suitable for practitioners who work with people with dementia &nbsp;in group settings, such as care staff, activity coordinators, &nbsp;occupational therapists, physiotherapists, community dance &nbsp;practitioners, community musicians, exercise instructors, day centre &nbsp;workers and volunteers who are based in settings with people with &nbsp;dementia.Course Objectives<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To introduce learners to the history of circle dance and its contemporary use in the field of dementia</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For learners to experience a variety of the circle dances</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To give a basic understanding of how dementia may affect physical and cognitive skills with respect to dance</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To equip learners with skills in devising basic choreography for circle dance in dementia</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To explore links with other activities, such as reminiscence, exercise and music</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To encourage learners to consider the planning, delivery, observation and monitoring of their circle dance sessions</li></ul>Learning Outcomes -&nbsp;at the end of the course learners will be able to:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">State the benefits of dance and specifically circle dance, for people with dementia</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Describe best practice in group facilitation skills for people with dementia</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Plan and deliver circle dance sessions in their work settings for people with dementia</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Create new dance steps to music for use in their settings</li><li style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Devise effective ways of using observation and monitoring of their circle dance sessions</li></ul>Training Style/ApproachThe day is a mixture of taught content, experiential and creative learning, delivered in a relaxed way.The &nbsp;delegate rate includes 20 tracks of specially selected Circle Dance &nbsp;music suitable for standing and seated dance.
