* A small taste of a few of the participants at the Brookline Senior Center on May 21, 2026 enjoying The Waltz. The hope was to lift spirits, energize bodies, and develop community. I think you can see the joy!

Eileen Herman-Haase and Raul Nieves, owners of Dance Caliente, shared their love of dance during this last of a sequence of three workshops*.

A big thanks to the Brookline Senior Center for inviting us and supporting this series as well as the Brookline Commission for the Arts.

Thanks to The Plymouth Center for Active Living and The Plymouth Cultural Council we were able to entertain more than 40 adults living in and around Plymouth with The Hustle on May 1 and West coast swing on May 15.
