You're never too old to dance, and this is proven by our weekly dance class series, Good [old] Times. For many years, the Holland Dance Festival has been organizing these dance classes specifically for individuals aged 55 and older. Dance is the language that communicates, connects, and captivates without the need for words. Moreover, it stimulates the production of so-called 'happiness hormones'.
Good [old] Times is open to anyone aged 55 and older who wants to enjoy dancing. The Holland Dance Festival offers multiple classes catering to various skill levels; there's something for everyone.
This plus course is based on modern dance, but influences and elements from other dance disciplines are also used. Both in movement and in choice of music.
Led by professional dance teachers from Holland Dance Festival, attention will be paid to developing general (physical) condition, body awareness, balance, muscle strength and flexibility. In the plus course you are (compared to the basic course) more conditionally challenged, the material is more complex, the pace of learning is higher and more is asked of you on a technical level. Also, the exercises and combinations are longer, which increases movement memory.
The plus course welcomes anyone 55 or older. If you are a dancer with more dance experience (gained within previous Good [old] Times courses or past dance classes) who likes to be challenged, then you are in the right place at this course.
“Ik dans vanaf ‘het eerste uur’ bij Holland Dance, moderne dans, Good [old] Times. Het is werkelijk fantastisch, als ik een keer moet missen, is mijn week niet compleet. Mooie muziek en professionele docenten”
— Lucia Schraven, 69 jaar - Deelneemster Good [old] Times
