Hi all,
I've been lurking for quite a while (and much enjoying all the suggestions
and opinions), but now I need your help.
I'm scheduled to call a "hoedown" next week for a retirement community, and
could use some help selecting (or modifying) appropriate dances. I'm
bringing a live band, so we'll probably intersperse liberally with waltzes
and other breaks, but I still hope to get them moving in some fun fashion.
I know many folks in the community (I teach tai chi and qigong there twice a
week), and am pretty sure that the wheelchair-or-walker set won't be dancing
(heck, I don't know if anyone will be dancing!), but I'm hoping some of the
more fit folks in their sixties and seventies can be convinced onto the
floor. That said, I'm still pretty sure I need to limit the amount of
swinging/twirling/hopping etc. to avoid possible falls or other disasters.
Oh, and we'll probably be dancing on carpet. Fun, huh?
Anyhow, any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cis Hinkle
