Aesop Planning and Evaluation Model: Dance to Health
National

Dance to Health is a nationwide pioneering falls prevention dance programme for older people, run by Aesop.

The report Active Ingredients – The Aesop planning and evaluation model for arts with a Social Purpose documents the development of an evaluation model designed to capture the ‘active ingredients’ of an arts for health intervention, incorporating artistic, health and wellbeing and social outcomes, with scope for reflection on improvement and transferability.

Dance to Health was a worked example within the report, used as an example to illustrate what the Active Ingredients model looks like when applied to a specific arts-based intervention.
