Casa de Manana dance was so fun! I usually don't listen to older generation music but the music was so fun. I recognized 2 songs- Havana by Camila Cabello and Pretty Woman sung by Roy Orbison. My Dad's favorite song is Pretty Woman. I enjoyed the raffle and the multitude of prizes. Shoutout to Joey Uy! Anyway, one lady asked me to grab another raffle ticket but I found it behind her. Lucky for her, she won a fern! There were so many wonderful prizes such as succulents, Starbucks gift cards, and soaps. No wonder the elders were excited for our dance!
I think the intergenerational dance was an excellent way of bridging the gap between individuals of all ages. Dancing is an artistic form of expression that has been around since the beginning of time and although some may feel more comfortable than others when dancing, dancing is an activity that can be accomplished by anyone. Even a few hand claps and movement of their feet can count as dancing. Dancing has always brought people joy and emotion and has never been act of violence.
The Polaroid camera was also the perfect way to capture such a precious moment. Many seniors who wanted to remember the festivities were able to bring home a portable and quick memorabilia. I am glad the seniors enjoyed such activities and the props they wore to reflect the “Rock and Roll” theme. Everyone should have fun in their life, no matter their age or background!
