It was heartwarming to arrive at The Club at Boynton Beach and watch the seniors find their spots to watch our Paris Can-Can Dance Show. It had been 1 month since our last visit when we performed our Hawaiian Hula Dance Show for them. While we set up our props, many of them recognized us and welcomed us with smiles and stories of what was going on in their lives.
The sequin hats, feather fans, foldable chairs, and lace umbrellas worked synergistically with the familiar music to bring joy to the room and to the hearts of those who were gathered there. Our 45-minute show featured choreographies to songs like “All That Jazz”, “Rum and CocaCola”, “Rock It for Me”, “Crazy in Love”, “Puttin on the Ritz” and more.
According to a study published in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease, there’s a widespread increase in functional brain connectivity following music listening. This connection was palpable in their eyes and their faces.
We closed our show by inviting the audience to share the dance fun with us. It was wonderful to see the kitchen staff step out of the kitchen and enthusiastically join us in the back of the room. They were accompanied by clapping seniors and other staff members dancing in the front of the room.
It feels good to watch happy engaged seniors and smiling staff as we pack up to leave. We look forward to our next visit!
