The Museum of the City of Recent York will host a free, intergenerational dance experience inviting families of all ages to participate. The program will be led by members of the Pacemakers Senior-Citizens Dance Team, a group of dancers ranging in age from 60 to 87.
Challenging Stereotypes Through Dance
The Pacemakers Dance Team was formed after one of its members experienced cyberbullying for dancing in public due to her age. Rather than retreat, the team was created as an act of defiance and resilience, with a mission to celebrate aging and challenge societal expectations.
Today, the Pacemakers receive enthusiastic accolades and have a busy performance schedule throughout the United States and internationally.
Participation in the program grants families access to the Museum of the City of New York. Advance registration is encouraged, and all sales are final.
