Dancing Through the Decades

For those who love watching dancing or getting out on the dance floor, here is a nostalgic activity that recognizes different dance styles throughout the last 100 years. Using YouTube, explore videos of the Charleston, swing, tango, twist and disco. Ask your activity partner about their favorite dance and if they have any memories of dancing. One Hummingbird client shared that she loved to square dance when she was a teen, and her mother  danced the tango! Allowing time to reminisce adds positive energy and warm memories to your activity time. To go one step further, add physical movement by dancing together or offering chair dance with arm movements!
