Re: Dances for Elderly Dancers

Hi Ridge, The main thing I'd suggest is to not worry about going over a phrase of music - Fail-safe ones that I've used: Any La Bastringue-type dance - with do-si-do and either short or no swing and then promenade - lots of built-in time to finish a figure. Visiting couple square dance - again - forget staying on the phrase - great when it happens/fine when it doesn't. Circassion Circle Virginia Reel (tell them they can walk, they don't have to sashay if it's not safe for them); reeling the set it optional (you can demonstrate and see if any want to try it). Email me if you'd like a few more that I've used at senior centers.
