No, I am not saying that, I don't think. I didn't mean you to take my comments as meaning I didn't like your idea... I was offering insight that might possibly be useful, but not trying to say your plan was a bad one. If the seniors are in a different circle than the youngsters, they are disconnected from each other, and the youngsters can't pull them over backwards. I assume the "waving scarves" means they aren't holding hands with each other, and (in the context of the concern that I wrote about) that's even better. Of course, being disconnected makes the whole thing less dance-like, so there is a little bit of a trade off between "safety" and "fun", and you'll have to decide where the sweet spot is, based on your knowledge of your group. I was just offering some things to consider that might oerhaps be different to what you had thought about already.

So, are you saying maybe “no" on the small musical instruments/tambourines and waving scarfs?
Older folks tend to dislike being given "tactile input" , (i.e, being shoved around) as a teaching tool. (So: stick to the visual and auditory input channels, and save the tactile for the kids.)
