Everyone can dance

As previously reported in Australasian Moves (Moving On, Vol 13, no’s, 3 and 4), we are pleased to have permission from Hawker Press to reprint this article written about the work of Dr. Heather Hill. It is part of a series of articles on the arts in dementia by John Killick (U.K. poet/writer who works in dementia care) for the Australian Journal of Dementia Care (AJDC). Based on email exchanges between Heather and John, and information drawn from Heather’s writings on dementia, the article represents dance really well. We are also pleased to have permission to reprint Cathy Greenblat’s beautiful and sensitive photos taken at one of Heather’s dance sessions.
