This free dance event is being organised to give local older people an opportunity to dance! It will be hosted by Dr Lucy Irving, alongside the MDX University Healthy Ageing Research and Practice Group.

We hope to provide an authentic disco experience with the intention of promoting health and wellbeing. The initiative takes inspiration from countries such as Japan and South Korea, whose populations continue to participate in dance and movement activities as they grow older, and this has proven beneficial for psychological and physical health.
This is an opportunity for guests to dance to their favourite songs in a relaxed environment. There will be no routines or choreography, just freestyle dancing and socialising.
There will be no entry fee, and you will be able to purchase drinks from the bar if desired.
