This study explored the impact of participation in Voices in Motion (ViM), an intergenerational community choir program that involved persons with dementia, care partners, and high school students in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Data came from interviews with 23 duets, each consisting of a person with dementia and their care partner; additionally, five focus groups with 29 students across two ViM choirs were conducted. Choir rehearsals and concerts were also observed. The analysis revealed that those with dementia have an embodied ability to fully participate in the choir and perform songs despite cognitive decline and memory loss. Involvement in the choirs also facilitated the emergence of strong social relationships among participants while students reported gaining a deeper understanding of the everyday experiences of living with dementia. Through well-attended concerts and performances at public events, ViM also helped re-humanize persons living with dementia by challenging the narrative of decline and its associated stigma. •Persons with dementia retain the ability to sing in a choir despite cognitive loss•Choir singing encourages social relationships beneficial to persons with dementia•Students in the choir gain a deeper understanding of living with dementia•Well-attended public concert performances help challenge the stigma of dementia•Choir singing serves as an embodied process of creative self-expression in dementia
