Tania brought a DVD back from England about the Company of Elders, a group of 25 dancers whose average age is 79. I'm dying to see it and Crows Feet will have a chance to see it in August, at a winter get-together with High Tea. (!) That was Elisabeth's idea, and she'll host it.

Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London is one of the capital’s premier ballet and contemporary dance venues. They host the Company of Elders which is a spin-off of their Connect programme for the community. Quoting from the Sadler's Wells web site:

"Constantly inspiring, Sadler’s Wells' Company of Elders is the jewel in the crown of the theatre's Connect programme.

"Drawn from our local community, this group of 25 performers discovered dance late in life and now enjoy the immense social and physical benefits of dance.  Established in 1992, Company of Elders grew out of the Sadler’s Wells afternoon over 60s club."
