Friends,
I have just agreed to teach a class at the senior center. the ladies who asked me are two terrific ladies who appear to be in their late 70's. One remarked about her trip to Turkey and Greece and how much she enjoyed the dancing she saw there. They are looking for a fun way to exercise. They are confident they can round up 10-12 ladies.
I have had ladies in their 60's and 70's in my class before, and I really didn't have to modify things too much, a little extra attention, a little more work on breaking things down. But I may have ladies in their 80's and the surface to dance on at the senior center is hard.
Any suggestions of things to avoid? things that will be easier? ideas for compensating for stiff joints?
