Last summer I went to the 5 day Winnipeg Folk Festival, camping at the Birds Hill Provincial Park outside Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each night the main acts would usually get the crowd dancing. My attempts were pretty limited. I could do the head bob and fist pump from the 'Rock Star Movements' of the Blue Man Group but couldn't manage any of the jumping up and down movements.

One of the main stage acts was Cat Empire from Melbourne and OKA from Australia was also there on some of the smaller stages. It was a tossup between Cat Empire and Peatbog Fairies from Scotland which was my favorite. I have even tried holding onto the footboard of the bed to see if I can get both feet off the ground at the same time. No such luck. This does not fall under any of the ADLs so there is no therapist I could ask about this.
Try one of the Greek folk dances. If your balance isn't good, forget it.
ReplyDeleteHusband and I danced at a friends daughter's wedding last September. We kind of circled around my left leg and didn't actually go anywhere, but at least I got up for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteI should tell my PT that my new goal will be ballroom dancing (or hip hop). I am not sure I could pick him up off the floor when he collapses from laughing too hard.
