This paper examines the efficacy of the use of creative dance intervention for persons with mild to moderate dementia, living in the community. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected on the sample of 35 older people to track the impact of the intervention on the domains of function, quality of life and well-being and caregiving stress through the use of the gait speed test, CONFbal scale, Functional Independence Measure, Quality of Life-AD, Dementia Care Mapping and Zarit Burden Interview. There was an overall improvement in all the domains. Statistically significant improvement was found in the Quality of Life reports (p = 0.002) and well-being as measured by Dementia Care Mapping (p < 0.001). The findings assert the positive contributions of person-centred creative dance towards an approach and environment that promotes dementia care. Future studies on determining sustainability of such intervention are recommended.
