Thank you, Debbie Marschall, for blessing this modification. This dance was written, so the residents of Keystone Commons, an assisted living community could “dance”. It’s better to dance in your chair than not at all. Have fun with this, any kind of movement helps keep our seniors moving and smiling. Though the outer body may age, there is still a young person inside.
