I’m a 72 year old retired educator. When a much younger girlfriend asked me to join her in a hand-dancing class called Smoother Than Smooth which was being offered in our hometown of Stafford, Virginia, I really didn’t know what to expect. I thought I was “too old a dog to learn new tricks”. “Besides,” I said to myself, “It’s just the old jitterbug that I had learned as a teen many years ago.” Well, was I in for a surprise! Not only did I join a diverse group (age- wise and experience-wise) of eager would-be hand dancers, I also got the DANCERCISE experience of my life!!! The mental and physical activities have truly rejuvenated me. I look forward to each class where our energetic and professional instructors, Kevin and Dana, teach and demonstrate each new step. We work individually, in pairs, and in small groups. After only ten (10) weeks, I feel like a new and much younger version of myself, and I’m actually hand-dancing with a lot of style and grace. I also met some great folks and gained some new friendships. I’m eagerly anticipating moving to the intermediate class and its culminating graduation program where I can show off my “smoother than smooth” moves to all of my family and friends.
Thanks Kevin, Dana, and classmates. Keep on dancing!!!
