FACILITATING MOVEMENT FOR SENIORS
Professional Developmet Workshop
What to Expect
A two-day, hands-on training for anyone who wants to bring joyful, safe movement to older adults. Two 2-hour sessions. No professional dance background required — just a love of movement and a wish to make it accessible to seniors.
❋ Day 1 — Step into the participant's shoes.
Experience a full seated movement session, then explore how to design movement experiences for older adults: building comfort and community, warm up and cool down, safe space and safe motion, effective engagement, repetition and play, storytelling and visualization, and working with props. End the day by creating a short dance with a partner (guided by Katya).
❋ Day 2 — Take the lead.
Warm up with a standing movement session, then practice practice leading the group. Share feedback. Close with shared reflections and next steps.
