25.01.2022 Dance Health Alliance are saddened to hear of Helen Reddy’s passing overnight in LA. Helen was the sister of DHA Ambassador Toni Lamond and lived with Dementia during her later years in life. Our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences go to Toni and the Lamond/Reddy families. Though the footage is a little grainy, we felt this clip from This Is Your Life perfectly captured these magnificent, talented sisters. Rest In Peace, Helen . .... . #helenreddy #tonilamond #sisters #love #iamwoman #ahmysister #thisisyourlife See more

25.01.2022 DHA is pleased to share this captivating, intimate and moving segment from the series "Together-Alone" featuring Keren Leiman, daughter of our QLD Coordinator Leigh. Keren is a professional dancer in the Netherlands, and shares her experience with anxiety. DHA couldn't agree with Keren's sentiments more, particularly given the current climate - "it's okay to feel these things, it's okay to feel anxious". https://vimeo.com/showcase/7554673/video/458044469 #dancehealthalliance #mentalhealth #anxiety #awareness #dance

13.01.2022 WORLD ALZHEIMER’S DAY The Dance Health Alliance DanceWise trademarked program is specially designed for people living with Dementia. It focuses on brain training, memory stimulation, creative inclusion, physical activity, improving mental health and social interaction. Did you know the most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease? This disease is characterised by the development of plaques and tangles which interrupt transmission between nerve cells in the brain and t...he nerve cells die. The first symptom is often memory loss, but the effects of Alzheimer's disease can include disorientation, difficulty communicating, delusions and depression. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease of the brain that slowly impairs memory and cognitive function.
