PROGRAM

Dance for Health

“How can dance help adapt to the persistent effects of Covid-19?”

The very topical theme of this year’s "Dance for Health"[1] Summer School organised by the world-renowned PNSD – The Rosella Hightower National Centre for Dance Excellence in Cannes (Pôle National Supérieur de Danse Cannes-Mougins Rosella Hightower), is: "How can dance help people to adapt to, and moderate, the persistent effects of COVID-19?”

In its quest to push the boundaries, PNSD has established programs, focused on the synergy and complex mutually beneficial relationship between dance and health.

These programs nourish an ecosystem with vibrant interactivity between professionals from the world of dance and science, through the Pôle Santé Danse, managed by ADMRdance (Association of Dance Medical Research). A team including PNSD's scientific advisor Peter Lewton-Brain, who is also Head of Health and Performance at Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, guides the team to explore the place of dance in the quest for a better quality of life through the convergence of health, art and science.

In the process of discovering new approaches to health through physical activity, this project was initiated through a partnership with UCA Université Côte d'Azur, in conjunction with the Global Action Plan to promote physical activity 2018-2030.

2021 sees the launch of an important new research program to study the lingering effects of Covid-19, from a bio-psycho-social perspective on the dance community and to eventually to explore how research on dancers can benefit wider populations.

During this Summer School, lectures, virtual sessions, roundtables and practical workshops will be presented to offer participants a place to meet and share experiences with an exciting group of multi-disciplinary experts in the field of dance and medicine.

These exchanges will also be an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of dance to improve the mental and physical quality of our daily lives.

In the perspective of adapting and using this very ancient and culturally rich art form, an integral part of all cultures and ethnicities, into a tool for influencing health (bio-psycho- social), we will be making tangible use of the latest dance as a health practice in our new socio-environmental world.
