Ballet for Brain Injury

Arts-based movement approaches are increasingly recognised as accessible, holistic, and potentially empowering resources for brain injury patients and others who experience disability. Dance has been shown to help people surviving brain injury to re-inhabit their bodies and cope with emotional, cognitive and physical impairments that can result from brain injury. Due to the artistic and creative nature of ballet and other dance forms, brain injury participants can experience freedom to use their own life experience to inspire movement and create dances.
