Deer Crest, Red Wing...

Today i joined the Kairos group to travel an hour and a half to Red Wing (out of the city and into the countryside of Minneapolis) to facilitate another 'Dancing Heart' Program to the Deer Crest facility.
As i have had the opportunity to observe quite a few 'Dancing Heart' Programs now it is interesting to see how they can change and develop within various groups. Ages, quantity and concept alters and this always provides engagement.
This afternoon we also visited a care facility which is going to be developing the 'Dancing Heart' program come October but today was a taster for the residents. I couldn't believe how open, trusting and engaged they were for their first time - it was unbelievable!! The individuals today spoke alot about their past dance and music experiences and we even found out that we had a band musician who played the drums and guitar and also a tap dancer, within the group! So this was a perfect program for them to identify with...,
