When Senior Citizens start dancing The
Cotton Eyed Joe, Ole’ and Slappin’
Leather, hearts race, laughs bubble to the
surface and smiles are found all around. Line
dancing in the golden years can be doubly
rewarding, offering a chance for social
interaction and gentle exercise. Shawn Trautman
DVDs shown at Senior centers, community events
and countless private residences inspire
countless Seniors to learn to line
dance.
Boot scoot that Senior boogie with
world-renowned dance instructor Shawn
Trautman, whose DVDs appeal to aspiring
dancers of all ages. Dance is especially
beneficial to Seniors for the following
reasons:
- Line dance is more than just a social
diversion. According to recent research,
dancing provides the perfect blend of mental
and physical exertion that helps to delay the
onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Continual
thought processes regarding steps combine
with gentle exertion to keep a sharpness of
mind and body.
- There’s no need for a partner. Jump
into that line! It doesn’t matter if
you’ve never met the person doing the
Electric Slide next to you. Line dance
provides a seamless social vehicle for
Seniors to combine the benefits of dancing
with the making of new friends.
- Learn how to line dance on your own
terms. Starting with his Line Dance 101 DVD, Shawn
Trautman breaks down each step from multiple
camera angles and his no-nonsense instruction
ensures that you’ll achieve mastery.
