Join us in the Frye Salon for a seated dance class for people with memory loss and their families. Inspired by the artwork on display, this class incorporates classical dance elements and playful movements as well as unique dance creations built in the moment.

Dancing Together is based on adaptive dance programs for people with cognitive impairment developed by Canada’s National Ballet School, and is also appropriate for people who require assistive mobility devices such as canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. No dance experience is necessary. 

Offered by Julia Becke, MD, recent Artist in Residence at the UW Memory Hub.
