"Daniela was warm, kind, funny..."

"I was looking for free outdoor activities for the fall, went to the Parks Department website and found the Sliver Shoes Dance Club in The Bronx for seniors. I registered with Daniela, the instructor and was told when classes began, went to first class it was outdoors, early and easy for me to get. Daniela was warm, kind, funny and we had a good time although we wore masks and was social distanced. This dance class helped my overall health by getting out in this pandemic, meeting people, exercising through dancing outdoors in a safe place. I would like for this dance class to continue. Thanks for a wonderful experience

“ I read dancing keeps you younger and I look forward to coming every week. Sometimes I come in a little bit down but afterwards I feel invigorated and uplifted”

"We don't judge..."

“ I enjoy class because we don’t judge each other. I feel comfortable with people my age, there is a sense of belonging being in an environment where you’re not judged and can enjoy listening to nostalgic music.”
