The sweet moment of circling chairs at the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness as a research instructor for IGROOVE: A Dance and Music Study for Older Adults with Memory Concerns. This NIH funded clinical study will help researchers to determine what kinds of dance, the frequency of the dance classes, and what aspects of the dance class – music, social interaction, cognitive challenge – affect fitness, memory and brain health. Much gratitude to all the team and co-leads Christina E. Hugenschmidt, Ph.D., associate professor of gerontology, and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Christina T. Soriano, M.F.A., dance professor and vice provost of the arts and interdisciplinary initiatives at Wake Forest University.
