Dance for health project in Gorseinon, Swansea

It said more evidence was needed but the link between the arts and improved health were already well-known.

The Welsh Government said it recognised the role arts therapy could play and would consider the recommendations.

This falls prevention class in Gorseinon, Swansea is part of a Dance for Health project run by the National Dance Company for Wales.
