Library Provides Practice Music!
Madison Central Library partners, again, with BB4B! Guy Hankel, reference librarian and music selector*, will be providing music and books for participants in our downtown class (sponsored by the Madison Senior Center) each week, starting in 2020! On Friday 13 December we ended class with a celebration, including a selection curated just for us.
Pairing the right music with dance movements will help us PRACTICE, which is crucial to improving balance.
Research shows that at least two hours per week of balance-specific activity is required to improve balance over six months and ongoing. Yes, forever! (Think of it like brushing your teeth – a good preventive health plan!)
Mr. Hankel will also provide books about the dances, their history, and more, to help enrich our learning.
Participants can check these out each week to make it easier to have fun preventing falls.
THANK YOU to the Madison Library system for its ongoing commitment to community programs like ours, and making access to the arts easy. Collaborative partnerships make this a rich, rewarding experience.
Here’s to 2020!
