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.
