Abstract
Despite the critical knowledge base on dance from phenomenological analyses and somatic studies, dance scholarship and practice in the dementia field largely represents a movement towards cognitive science with an emphasis on embodied cognition and psychotherapeutic use of dance. This chapter argues that understanding and fully supporting dance, not as a therapeutic, but rather as a dimension of everyday life, requires a turn to citizenship, specifically to a model that emphasises both embodied selfhood and relationality. The chapter articulates this argument by analysing findings of an ethnographic study of selfhood in Alzheimer’s disease in a Canadian long-term care facility in the context of the relational model of citizenship. Relational citizenship brings a new and critical dimension to understanding self-expression through dance by persons with dementia, while also addressing broader issues of inclusivity and the ethical imperative to fully support dance through institutional policies, structures and practices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
