My vision for the Gold Award includes partnering with active retirement homes to establish a music and movement program for all residents. The program will include one to two hours of dance class which will include stretching, choreographed movement, and upbeat music. In addition, I would like to create a DVD collection for residents to use either weekly, in between sessions, or when I am absent. The DVDs will also guide volunteers and program staff in facilitating dances sessions. Also the DVD set provides the sustainability needed in order to ensure this program continues. Read More
