The unifying effect of music and dance was clearly evident at the
Nathan Hale Senior Village when the Dorothy's School of Dance
Performing Arts Company, and the F.A.I.T.H. Dance Project visited the Doxsey
Place Seniors to participate in their 2nd anuual intergenerational day
of dance. The students, and teachers, performed their award winning
routines. The seniors also performed, showing off months of hard work
and weekly line dancing classes. Then, young and old joined together
to learn some new line dances.
The participants, and the audience, shared a wonderful experience. The
dancers at DSD and the FAITH Project understand the importance of
community involvement. They enjoy sharing their talents, and meeting
new friends along the way. Intergenerational activities are often
planned at the Nathan Hale Senior Village. Before this event ended,
requests were made for a repeat performance.
