Dance For Veterans

An eight-week program to introduce the power of dance and movement in facilitating improved health and wellbeing.

Facilitated by the Queensland Ballet’s Van Norton Li Community Health Institute, the Dance for Veterans program aims to enhance quality of life for veterans experiencing PTSD or other trauma-related psychological injury. 

Through the combination of progressive instruction through dance manoeuvres, together with facilitated social connection, participants are supported to improve their psychological, physical, social and environmental health. The instruction program references historical connections between military movement and dance development, facilitating personal expression and confidence-building. 

The program is delivered across one session per week for four weeks followed by two sessions per week for four weeks. Sessions are held at the Queensland Ballet studios and facilitated by experienced dance Teaching Artists.
