A
A
Several
national
senior
organizations
have
focused
on
maintaining
and
improving
balance
and
physical
activity
as
an
important
way
to
assure
healthy
aging.
Cje.
Senior
Life
has
offered
programs
in
balance
for
many
years,
but
it
came
to
their
attention
that
recent
research
was
showing
dance
classes
are
particularly
beneficial,
including
actually
growing
the
size
of
the
hippocampus
and
older
adults,
and
so
CJ
senior
life
joined
with
the
senior
program
and
arts
program
coordinators
in
the
parks
and
recreation
and
community
service
department.
A
Sessions
were
offered
in
two
locations
at
the
levy
senior
center
and
the
fleetwood
Jourdain
Community
Center
and
participants
were
assessed
on
two
simple
metrics
at
the
beginning
in
each
session
to
see
if
their
balance
improved
the
class
followed,
a
standard,
dance
class
format
and
genres
explored
included
social
dance
forms,
popular
dance
and
even
a
little
music
theater
dance.
The
class
was
continuously
adapted
to
the
physical
and
cognitive
needs
and
interests
of
the
participants.
Results
of
this
small
pilot
were
overwhelmingly
positive.
