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
