Phase One
Dress Rehearsal
In April 2017, Trent University, NBS, and Community Care worked collaboratively to test the first streamed group session of the Baycrest NBS Sharing Dance Seniors program for active seniors over eight weeks (P1). The “dress rehearsal” took place at the Chemung office in Ennismore, ON. A project planning meeting was held at Trent University in July 2017 to discuss the outcomes of the dress rehearsal and plan the expansion of the program (P2) in September 2017.
Phase Two (P2)
Community Expansion
Branch offices in Apsley, Ennismore, Havelock, Lakefield and Millbrook participated in the community care expansion, which took place from September to November for one hour every Wednesday morning. From March to May, 2018.

Phase Three (P3)
Institutional Settings
P3 was implemented at branch offices in Apsley, Ennismore, Lakefield, and Millbrook, with the expansion to one institutional setting at William Place Retirement Residence in Lindsay (see Figure 2.) Table one outlines the timeline for the Peterborough project expansion as well as subsequent research exploring the experiences of older people with dementia and carers in Brandon, Manitoba. The phases are unified by a consistent method of data collection and program evaluation.
