We are NOT mainstream, so our dance levels are for Starters - Beginners - Experienced (we do not do high impact or advanced dancing) Many of our seniors have been dancing for years but don't choose to do high impact dances. As we age, many of us deal with aches & pains, arthritis, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. High impact dances only irritate these conditions. For this reason, we stay with good, easy, fun-to-learn and fun-to-do low impact dances. We add variations for the more experienced dancer so everyone dances but at his/her level. We will include for this event 2 "New" Mainstream Dances.
