The EngAGE Senior Olympics are scheduled for September 29th, so preparation and practice has been going on all summer. Below, a group from Solara Court rehearses. Regional Programs Director Nancy Goodhart comments:
“Twelve performers gather weekly to rehearse their chair dance performance. Without language as instruction, movement has shown to be a powerful teacher, as movements are choreographed and synchronized to every beat. Residents have been seen to throw their pompoms when they realize they have missed a beat! Airborne pompoms may have to be included in this performance. Hold on to the pompoms, please!”
Nancy also reports from Heritage Park Anaheim:
“Pictured below, Elaine displays her prize garden zucchini, the main ingredient in her famous zucchini bread. She made enough for all residents to enjoy after Olympic practice.”
Be sure to take a look at this post, too, to see photos from the art show held in August at Burbank Senior Artist’s Colony.
