Performance and community dance at Independence Plaza Older Adult Center in Tribeca

I had the pleasure of working with participants at the Independence Plaza Older Adult Center in Tribeca in NYC.  After a short demo, I talked about the benefits of dance in brain health, and then led the group through collective movement (some pictures below): 
​
A participant said ​"I had a wonderful time seeing you dance. I think you noticed that I was smiling all the time. Thank you for making our afternoon happy. You are great. I was smiling because I was enjoying your dancing so much. I loved every movement. Thank you again. I am lucky to have met you. I could use some of those wonderful movement to help my body move better. I am 86 years old! Thank you again."
