Program details

Dance for Life Iluka are dance lessons specifically catered for the over 60's population, focusing on improved health and wellbeing and incorporating falls prevention principles.

Dance for Life Iluka offer 3 separate classes in order to cater for all mobilities and abilities. All classes are one hour in duration.

• Active and Agile lesson - Participants can stand for one hour. They can move quickly and have good balance and range of movement.
• Active Less Agile lesson - Participants can stand for one hour but may need to sit and rest. They do not move as quickly, and their balance is less secure. Participants may need assistance by holding onto a chair.
• Seated Chair Dance - Participants are seated for the hour dance lesson. They may have reduced joint mobility, reduced muscle strength and various health conditions.
