Dancing Away Dementia in Worcestershire

Available for over a year

Meet the Fernhill Heath care home residents using salsa dancing to ease their symptoms. They say it's given them a new lease of life! John James, a salsa dance teacher from Bromsgrove, is going across care homes in Worcester, Droitwich and Redditch offering people with dementia the chance to get involved. Our reporter Tom Edwards went to a class, with residents taking to their own dancefloors, and even judged like the professionals are in Strictly Come Dancing!
