Dance Therapy For Dementia

We learn about how dance therapy can make a big impact for those living with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease from Erica Hornthal of Chicago Dance Therapy. Plus, a local man shares how the program has made a difference for his wife.
Living Healthy Chicago is a health and wellness program that airs Saturday mornings at 9am on WGN. We aim to educate and inspire our viewers to live healthier lives.

Chair yoga, tai chi, singing, dancing, clapping, tapping out rhythms 👏 - it’s amazing what is preserved in the right brain.
