Invitation to the Dance: Dance for people with dementia & their carers

(2009, 2nd ed.) Heather Hill, University of Stirling, Scotland. Book and CD set $AUD40

This is the second edition of Heather Hill's book that was written as a user-friendly guide for staff interested in using dance and movement with people with dementia. This edition contains much the same text as the original, but with new photographs and a companion CD with 6 tracks from two Australian musician/composers.

The book covers:
- the philosophy of person-centred care
- the relevance and value of dance as an aesthetic and mind/body activity
- practical suggestions about establishing and running a dance/movement group
- the “how” of the dance session, that is the ethic that underpins dance/movement work in dementia
- the materials of dance. Rather than a recipe, the author offers ideas for creating one’s own dance/movement activities, choosing music, sensory experiences, etc.
- examples drawn from the author’s experience in dance therapy sessions
- sample dance session showing how some of the materials of dance can be used
- suggestions for resources eg different types of music, different props and how they might be used.
- further reading.

While accessible to non-dance staff, it is also a valuable resource for dance therapists looking for both a philosophical framework in which to work and also inspiration and ideas for working with people with dementia.
