Tappy Toes Launches Intergenerational Dance Sessions at Peverel Green Care Home

Tappy Toes is proud to announce a heartwarming new collaboration with Peverel Green Care Home and Little Bears Nursery. This unique initiative brings together young children and care home residents for joyful, music-filled intergenerational dance sessions.

These sessions are more than just movement classes, they are powerful opportunities to foster connection, wellbeing, and community across generations.

Dancing Across Generations: A New Kind of Dance Class

Our award-winning baby and toddler dance classes have always focused on boosting confidence, coordination, and creativity in early years. Now, we’re expanding that impact by bringing joy to older generations too.

Each month, children from Little Bears Nursery visit Peverel Green Care Home to take part in a fun and uplifting Tappy Toes session alongside the residents. The result is a shared experience full of music, movement, smiles, and laughter.

The Benefits of Intergenerational Movement

These sessions are designed to benefit both children and care home residents in meaningful ways.

For young children:

• • Develops empathy and emotional intelligence

• • Encourages communication with older generations

• • Builds confidence in new and unfamiliar settings

• • Creates lasting, positive memories

For older adults:

• • Encourages gentle physical activity

• • Stimulates memory and lifts mood through music

• • Reduces loneliness and supports social connection

• • Fosters a sense of purpose and joy

At Tappy Toes, we believe in the power of movement and music to connect people of all ages. Our intergenerational classes reflect that belief in action.

Building Community Through Dance

This collaboration between Tappy Toes, Little Bears Nursery, and Peverel Green Care Home is a shining example of how children’s dance classes can support community engagement and emotional wellbeing. It highlights the broader purpose of our early years movement programme- helping people feel connected, seen, and uplifted, no matter their age.
