On November 12, Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona and the Campus Salut of the Fundació Castell de Perelada presented to the press the results of Dit-Dit, an innovative project of cognitive stimulation through dance. The event, held at the Grifols Auditorium, brought together professionals from both the clinical and artistic sectors and was attended by Dr. Mercè Boada, co-founder and medical director of Ace, Dr. Yahveth Cantero-Fortiz, research coordinator and medical editor of Ace, and Condegalí choreographer Aimar Pérez-Galí, who shared how dance can contribute to the well-being of people with dementia.

In addition, we had the assistance and collaboration of Oriol Aguilà, director of the Castell de Peralada Festival, and Isabel Suqué, president of the Fundació Castell de Perelada, who opened the presentation together with Dr. Boada.

Previously presented at the 34th edition of the Alzheimer Europe Conference, the Dit-Dit study, called “Exploring the impact of dance on Alzheimer's patients (Dit-Dit)”, is based on the potential of dance to improve the quality of life of patients through mobility, memory and emotional connections, while linking a finger with another person's. The results obtained show improvements in physical and cognitive function of the participants, highlighting the positive impact of this non-pharmacological therapy.

Through a series of sensory and movement exercises, Dit-Dit has strengthened the bonds between the center's users, family members and Ace professionals.

With the support of the Perelada Festival, Dit-Dit is consolidating as an innovative tool for cognitive health. During the presentation, a video of the project was shown and attendees were invited to share their questions about this promising initiative, which continues to explore the benefits of alternative therapies to improve the well-being of people with Alzheimer's disease.
