Demonstration at Palm View

Recently, several of our dancers took the time to provide a demonstration for the residents at Palm View Rehabilitation Center.  The center requested that we provide the demo as several of the residents were former square dancers.  Here is what Londa Mannan, President of YSRDA,  had to say following the event:

The demo dance at the Palm View Rehabilitation Center today was great--2 squares and 1 extra couple.  The people loved it!!! Some sang along with the old songs Steve purposely selected, some kept perfect time with their hands and feet; others told us we were beautiful, and one lady made it a point to tell me our dancing was refreshing. 

The happiness on their faces and their asking when we would be back certainly made it worthwhile to go. Steve called "Yellow Rock" in a tip and explained to them what it meant.  Afterward, one lady (they were all in wheelchairs) said to Larry when he walked by, "I need one of those yellow hugs!"  He hugged her, then told her it was yellow ROCK, so then she started asking anyone who got near for a yellow rock.  I hope the Assn. will make this an annual commitment.

Demos are usually performed with the hope of acquiring new dancers.  Will this demo produce any new dancers?…..no….. did it put a smile on many faces?…..Definitely!  Hats off to all the dancers who took time from their busy day to provide this spot of sunshine in Palm View!
