Residents at Pickmere Extra Care in Crewe are enjoying monthly tea dances led by Cheshire Dance therapist Shirley Brocklehurst. At the last dance in December, residents donned their finest outfits and Santa and Mrs Claus also took time out of their busy schedule to pay them a visit.
Some residents are reviving their dancing skills whilst others are learning new moves. A couple of residents have even been out and bought new dancing shoes. The residents are benefiting from the dances through exercising and also by having fun and socialising.
The daughter of a couple who recently moved to Pickmere and have attended all the tea dances asked staff at the last tea dance “What have you done with my parents? We couldn’t get them out of the house before but since they moved here we can’t keep them in!”
