* 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.
