DanceStream Projects is a non-profit arts and health organization based in Queens, NY with a mission to spark brain health and build creative community through dance and movement.
Since 2020, we have served over 1,500 older adults, people living with dementia, care partners, professionals and community members across NYC, the United States and internationally through our community dance programs and educational programs that build agency around brain health through dance and the arts.
Our community-based dance programs ally with communities of older adults and people living with dementia and their care partners and lead in ensuring that no older adult or person living with dementia feels alone and without access to meaningful creative community engagement.
Our educational programs work to dismantle misconceptions and place power founded in evidence base in the hands of individuals and communities to be active agents in their own brain health across their life course, transform public narratives around aging, mental health and dementia and promote dementia-friendly community.
Inspired by the concept of upstreaming health, DanceStream Projects brings together artists, researchers, and communities as active collaborators in creative and educational projects that build spaces of belonging and amplify collective stories. We believe that dance is a universal language and that the arts, and specifically dance, are an integral part of the healthcare ecosystem. Through collaborative dance practice, we work together to build new systems and structures that maximize our agency and fortify our collective wellbeing.
