Less Dementia — your questions, answered
Can dance really help with less dementia?
Yes. The movement medicine your brain has been waiting for. Regular 15-minute sessions, 4–5× per week, produce measurable change within 4–8 weeks for most women.
How often should I dance for less dementia?
Most women see results from 4–5 sessions of 15–25 minutes per week. Consistency matters more than session length.
Do I need any equipment?
No. A phone or tablet, arm's-length of clear floor, and comfortable clothes. Everdance does the rest.
How long until I see results?
Energy and mood shift within the first week. Visible changes typically show up between weeks 4 and 8 of consistent practice.
