Dance for Health, a pilot study evaluating the effect of a dance program on both memory and overall health and fitness, is welcoming members of the public to join in on the weekly dance sessions. New dancers will not be part of the research program.
Dance for Health is held 5 to 7 p.m. every Thursday between Feb. 4 and April 28 at the Sayre Morris Recreation Center, 5835 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
The program, launched by the Penn School of Nursing two years ago, began working with the Penn Memory Center this year to recruit older adults.
