There’s no doubt our light-hearted Variety 80’s Show was a perfect match for the senior residents at Grand Villa Boynton Beach East. They seemed to be tapping their toes to the beat of the music before we even turned it on.
Our costuming mirrored their celebration of the 80’s with its signature leg warmers and off-the-shoulder tops. But it was the music of our 45-minute Variety Show that inspired and engaged the residents. The activity director added to the enthusiasm by joining in on most of our songs from the side of the room. The joy was contagious as we danced to favorites like “For Your Entertainment”, “Footloose”, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and more.
Music has a way of positively impacting seniors not only psychologically but physically. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, that can include reduced anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improved sleep, mood, alertness, and memory.
The most memorable part of the event was having one of the seniors lead us all in the line dance to “Hot Hot Hot”. Staff, family, and residents left their seats to be a part of the slow-moving line. It was a heartfelt moment of celebrating community and movement.
We look forward to sharing the joy of movement with Grand Villa Boynton Beach East again soon.
