OLDER PEOPLE
We specialise in working with older people and undertake regular training to enable us to understand and protect the ageing body.
Tracing Steps hold a variety of sessions for the over 50's including separate classes for dance and drama for active over 50's and 'Use it or lose it!' dance and drama programme for people in care homes and day centres.
We hold open community classes as well as working in care homes across Greater Manchester and delivering regular sessions and workshops for Associations such as Alzheimer's Society and the Stroke Association.
USE IT OR LOSE IT CLASSES
The programme engages older people's co-ordination skills, balance, memory, mobility and laughter! The programme is aims to keep what we've got rather than acquiring new skills; however the sessions will improve people's balance and co ordination skills and fine motor skills.
During lockdown we worked in partnership with Irish Community Care and delivered several FREE online seated workshops a week.
