Lights Up the Silver Years: The Joyful Seniors' Disco
Abstract
Are you ready to party like it's 1969?
This "creative health" program, co-created by artist Zoe LAISim Fong and a group of local seniors, masterfully blends dance and nostalgic music. Not only does it allow the elderly to showcase their artistic talents, but it also offers them the dual benefits of physical exercise and social joy, helping them bid farewell to loneliness. Join us in this extraordinary "Silver Disco" celebration and embark on an exciting new chapter of your golden years! Relive the glory days and move to the beat with a vibrant community of like-minded individuals. Unleash your inner dancing queen or king – this is your time to shine!
