Lori Adams is a certified dementia practitioner and long term care fitness expert who SINGS professionally!
THIS IS GERIATRIC ENTERTAINMENT WITH A GOAL: SNEAK IN SOME SAFE EXERCISE!
Proven successful in assisted living and dementia care environments, this program gets people moving from the safety of their chair. Wheelchairs and walkers are always welcome.
Lori's Movin and Groovin is an entertaining musical experience that is designed to improve one’s sense of well being through formulated body movements and singing.
Our audiences have so much fun, they don't even realize they are exercising! We strive to create an atmosphere of fellowship for all, encouraging group interaction with a positive "do what you can" attitude while implementing senior fitness concepts including balance, flexibility, and core stability. Our formulated movements help to maintain daily function for seniors.

Music and singing can have a powerful impact on people living with dementia. Even when memory and language decline, the emotional response to music is often still there.
Singing triggers memories, improves mood, reduces anxiety, supports communication, and encourages engagement.
Shared musical experiences can reconnect people even in later stages of dementia.
Music moves the body and the soul! Let us help you connect!

Each song works a specific muscle group or joint function for a few minutes, allowing intervals of rest. Movements are simple, seated, and suitable for seniors at any fitness level.
