Dance Health Alliance

Dance Health Alliance (DHA) is a not for profit organisation dedicated to improving the health, wellbeing, and social connection of older adults and people living with dementia through dance programs. 

For over ten years, DHA has delivered community based movement initiatives across Sydney and regional NSW, creating safe, inclusive, and engaging spaces where participants can move, connect, and thrive. Our programs, including DanceWise and DanceMoves, are adaptable to all abilities, whether participants are fully mobile, use a walker, or participate seated. Sessions combine gentle movement, rhythm, and music to support physical function, coordination, and cognitive engagement, while also fostering social connection, reducing isolation, and building confidence and joy.

DHA trains NSW Health staff and aged care providers in rural communities to deliver these programs, extending access for seniors outside metropolitan areas and building local capacity to support active ageing.

Our programs are delivered by trained movement practitioners with expertise in older adults and people living with dementia. Over the years, DHA has partnered with aged care providers, local health districts, and community centres, reaching hundreds of participants across diverse communities.

Led by a CEO inspired by personal experience supporting older family members, DHA celebrates ten years of helping people stay active, socially connected, and part of a stronger, healthier community across NSW.
