Singapore, 30 September 2025 <\/em><\/strong>\u2014 An intergenerational community dance programme co-developed by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Lions Befrienders (LB) will be rolled out across 10 Active Ageing Centres (AACs) from 2025 to 2027. The large-scale implementation is expected to benefit more than 280 seniors, marking Singapore\u2019s first nationwide use of dance as a health intervention for pre-frail and mildly frail older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jointly run by the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Nursing), and LB, and co-designed with geriatric and exercise experts, dance professionals, student instructors, seniors and AAC staff, the programme takes a distinctive intergenerational approach. NUS students, trained as dance instructors through the \u201cDancing Communities\u201d module, lead sessions that bring youthful energy to seniors, turning each class into a space where generations learn, move, and connect together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Intergenerational Community Dance Programme<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Intergenerational Community Dance Programme is a structured 12-week initiative for pre- frail and mildly frail older adults that combines movement, rhythm, and storytelling to improve physical health, stimulate cognition, and foster emotional well-being\u2014while also strengthening bonds between generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each weekly session lasts about 60 to 75 minutes, and typically includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Warm-up exercises to improve mobility and balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Choreographed dance routines based on simple, repetitive steps that are safe yet stimulating. Themes such as nature, travel, or daily life make the sessions engaging and relatable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cool-down stretches to aid recovery and relaxation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Sessions are held at Lions Befrienders\u2019 AACs in neighbourhoods islandwide, making them accessible to seniors where they live. Classes are led by NUS student instructors, supported by AAC staff and guided by professional dance instructors. Students enrolled into the \u201cDancing Communities\u201d course are also members of various student dance groups on campus managed by the Centre for the Arts. The groups include IIsa Tari, NUS Dance Blast, NUS Dance Synergy and BreakiNUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The programme not only supports physical and cognitive health, but also integrates social and emotional dimensions. Music, group participation, and storytelling through movement are key features that help seniors feel connected, joyful, and confident. Dance themes such as travel and nature give seniors opportunities to reminisce and celebrate life experiences, while student instructors bring energy and encouragement, co-creating meaningful bonds across generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Research-Backed Benefits<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The scale-up builds on more than four years of research by NUS Nursing and its partners, including a 2021 systematic review published in the International Journal of Nursing Studies <\/em>and a 2023 qualitative study in Nursing & Health Sciences<\/em>, both of which demonstrated the benefits of dance for cognition, mobility, and well-being among older adults. These findings were reinforced by a pilot trial conducted in 2022 at four neighbourhood Senior Activity Centres operated by LB, where an eight-week programme improved seniors\u2019 physical health, sharpened their memory, lifted their moods, and reduced loneliness (see research findings in Annex A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The programme\u2019s Principal Investigator, Assistant Professor Vivien Wu from NUS Nursing, said, \u201cMild cognitive impairment, or MCI, affects up to 20% of older adults worldwide. Nearly 40% of those with MCI will progress to dementia, if left untreated. Currently, there are no approved pharmacological treatments for MCI. Dance offers a holistic, enjoyable, and culturally adaptable intervention that engages the body, mind, and social connection simultaneously. With Singapore placing strong emphasis on Healthier SG <\/em>and Age Well SG<\/em>, our findings show that dance is a low-cost, scalable way to help seniors not only live longer\u2014 but also live better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dr Chew Suyin, Senior Lecturer from NUS College and Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, added, \u201cMovement is a universal language\u2014it transcends boundaries and breaks down the barriers in communication. Dance provides physical well-being and allows for meaningful social connection and the development of aesthetic sensibilities. Community dance is all inclusive, collaborative, accessible, empowering and transformational. The programme that the students are conducting is focused on engagement and process, emphasising the fact that all arts have healing properties. Dance has positive impact on the moods of everyone involved\u2014whether they are facilitators, instructors, participants or the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cAt Lions Befrienders, we know that social connection and engagement are just as vital as physical activity for the well-being of our seniors. The Intergenerational Community Dance Programme perfectly embodies this belief, addressing the crucial psycho-social health of our elderly residents. This programme is more than just dance; it’s also about reducing isolation, building friendships, and creating a sense of joy and community. We are deeply grateful for our valued partners, like NUS and their dedicated student volunteers, whose collaboration has made this programme a resounding success. Together, we are not only delivering a beneficial service but also building a stronger, more inclusive community that supports our seniors in their journey of healthy ageing,” said Karen Wee, Executive Director of Lions Befrienders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The NUS Medicine and Nursing team plans to extend the programme islandwide as well as develop digital training modules to complement in-person sessions and enable wider adoption by community partners. Future phases will continue to build on its distinctive intergenerational teaching and learning model, ensuring that the benefits of dance extend beyond health to strengthen community ties across age groups. \u201cThe long-term vision is to integrate community dance into Singapore\u2019s fall-prevention and ageing strategies, making dance-based interventions accessible to seniors nationwide. By embedding evidence-based programmes like the Intergenerational Community Dance Programme into Active Ageing Centres, we can reimagine ageing in Singapore\u2014not as decline, but as a stage of life filled with movement, joy, memory and meaning,\u201d added Dr Wu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NUS Nursing research findings on the benefits of Intergenerational Community<\/u><\/strong> Dance Programme<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NUS Nursing research has shown that community dance delivers measurable physical, cognitive, and social benefits for seniors, while fostering intergenerational connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Intergenerational Community Dance Programme, developed with LB, has been studied in multiple phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7        2021: Global evidence<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    A systematic review published in the International Journal of Nursing Studies <\/em>analysed eight randomised controlled trials across five countries involving 680 older adults (aged 65\u201381). Results showed that dance improved cognition, neuroplasticity, mobility, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). As MCI affects up to 20% of older adults worldwide and nearly 40% progress to dementia if untreated \u2014 with no approved pharmacological treatment available \u2014 dance offers a safe, low-cost, and culturally adaptable intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7        2022: Singapore pilot<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    An eight-week trial at four LB\u2019s Senior Activity Centres found that seniors experienced better flexibility, improved mood and memory, and stronger social connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7        2023: Qualitative insights<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    A study published in Nursing & Health Sciences <\/em>explored the lived experiences of 20 seniors and 10 student instructors. It highlighted creativity, reminiscence, and intergenerational learning as distinctive outcomes of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key Findings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Physical health<\/strong>: Improved flexibility, reduced back pain, better stamina, and reports of weight loss and lower blood pressure\/glucose.
      • Cognition<\/strong>: Improved memory, attention, and alertness from learning dance choreography.<\/li><\/ul>
        • Emotional well-being<\/strong>: Seniors reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less tense.<\/li><\/ul>
          • Social connection<\/strong>: Group dance reduced isolation and built friendships, supported by student instructors\u2019 presence.<\/li><\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Reminiscence & creativity<\/strong>: Themed routines (e.g., travel, nature) evoked positive memories and gave seniors a sense of achievement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Intergenerational exchange<\/strong>: Students developed empathy and communication skills, while seniors valued their energy and encouragement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
