Step by step, dozens of dancers groove for two hours every Monday and Wednesday from 11:30 to 1:30 at the Washington Park Family Center.
"We just celebrated 15 years of being a dance group, Young at Heart Senior Line Dancers," said Director, Lilly Woodard."We learn a new dance every week. It's a lot of fun, but it's also a learning process after all we are seniors and our oldest member in the group is over 85 years old," Woodard said."I love it. I just love it. I retired in 2007 joined them in 2008 and I have not wanted to stop at all," she said.
"One of the great things about line dancing is the brain. We have to learn left, right, up, down, around steps to many dances and that is great exercise for the mind especially for seniors," Ford said. It's something the seniors look forward to, but say the family center also needs more attention from Indy Parks and Rec.
"I know it's overlooked compared to others if you go to Brookside or you go to Riverside those facilities are really nice and they seem to upgrade them a lot compared to Washington Park. We are like the stepchild. That's what we feel," Ford said. "We would love to have the gym to get a complete makeover, the restrooms need to be updated and it's not just for seniors. We have youth that come to Washington Park. They need equipment outside. They need the equipment on the inside. We need a swimming pool over here for the neighborhood children. We want this to be for everyone, not just seniors," Woodward said."Dance.
