Project snapshot
The Lexington Houses Resident Council is incorporating the health benefits of dance into their community in order to create a better quality of life for all that live there. Through morning and evening exercise, they are working to reduce levels of stress, anxiety, and depression as well as long COVID symptoms. The Resident Council is making sure that this activity is accessible for everyone by providing classes with different levels of difficulty and genre of dance. They are also encouraging the social aspect of dancing by allowing for group interactions.
