  • Elderly fitness dance show

    蓝天白云晴空万里,绿草如茵苍松如盖,万物生机盎然。40名红衣白帽的朋友聚集在Wade Road 公园,愉快参加我们周围的老年朋友期待己久的"欢聚夏季健身活动日”。 近三年来,我们坚持在公园每周一次的健身活动,今天就是我们的表演展示。 我们的表演于7月15日上午十点准时开始,十二点半才结束。表演有健身舞《月亮女神》,《月光下的凤尾竹》和《杏花落》,还有《八段锦》,24式太极拳。健身舞的音乐优美,动作活泼,深受欢迎。八段锦和太极拳是中国传承千年的健体运动,动作舒缓,身心和谐,有益于调节气血增进稳定平衡能力。 大家随着音乐舞动,也吸引公园中的其它人跟着我们一起活动。最后大家一起欢快跳起集体舞《春之歌》。 今天来到公园的朋友平均年龄达76,80以上的老朋友有12位。90岁的2位。看他们的笑脸和矫健身形没人相信他们已是Super-seniors! 老年生活幸福关键是健康和友情。我们组织这个活动联络的社区的老友欢乐相聚、交流情感,同时通过轻柔的运动舒展身心、收获健康。 本次活动得到DELTA邻里小额基金的资助,衷心感谢Jennifer Graham和基金会的帮助! 我们将坚持在公园每周一次的健身活动,吸引更多老年人加入我们,增强友情和身心健康,让周围社区的老年人在这里找到朋友,一起运动一起欢笑。我们的老年生活会更加自信、自强、快乐! Today, it is a…
