Dancing

I have seen that music and dancing are two things that most of those with Alzheimer's enjoy and participate in to a greater or lesser degree depending on what they are able to do.

Two years ago I took George to a afternoon with dancing followed by a high tea. George loved it. Here he is dancing with a school friend of Mum's who also has Alzheimer's. I was reminded of this when I picked him up from the club on Thursday. He had had a wonderful day. They had arranged a singer during the afternoon and many of them (including George) had danced the afternoon away.



Unfortunately he is starting to get frustrated with the language as he has lost so many words and is finding it hard for others to understand what he is talking about. For someone to whom language was such an important part of their lives this must be very frightening.
