Dance Across the Generations

Skyedance, the Contemporary Dance club in Portree, is thrilled to present Dance Across the Generations, an inspiring intergenerational project that brings together primary children and senior community groups or care/nursing homes.

With loneliness being a significant issue in the older generation, especially in the rural setting of the Isle of Skye, this project aims to create connections and combat this problem.

Over a period of six weeks, these two diverse groups come together on a weekly basis to dance in a variety of styles. It's amazing to witness the energy and creativity that emerges when these different generations collaborate through the universal language of dance.

To foster a warm and welcoming environment, each session concludes with a well-deserved cuppa and a biscuit. This simple act of sharing refreshments helps facilitate socialisation and encourages the groups to bond on a deeper level.

The success of Dance Across the Generations has been tremendous, and it has become a cherished experience for schools, care homes, and community groups all across the island. Skyedance is incredibly proud to be a part of this initiative and to witness the joy that dance brings to people of all ages.

So, if you have a passion for dance and a desire to bridge the generation gap, mark your calendars for this special event. Join us for Dance Across the Generations and be a part of something truly meaningful. Let's come together, move together, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
