Disco Change Age

healthcare, elderly, Impact Innovation Lab

Improving underprivileged elders’ health and fostering their community engagement through the integration of local nostalgic music and basic disco dance in exercise classes

  

  

The venture aims to bring joy and improve the well-being of underprivileged elders through group exercise classes that integrate local nostalgic music and basic disco dance. It engages an initial group of elders as core participants, equipping them with necessary dancing skills and knowledge. These elders will then pass on their expertise to another group, collectively preparing for dance showcase events. It not only enhances elders’ mobility and overall well-being but also fosters a sense of community engagement and helps alleviate their loneliness.
