"In a dark moment for the world, a few rays of light broke through. One was the film Why We Dance, a celebration of uninhibited movement, human connection, and the joy of letting go. At a time when touch and closeness were temporarily frozen from our lives, the film reminded us what it means to move freely, celebrate in community, and surrender to the music. Through movement and song, it captures the essence of happiness itself.”
Marc Cohen, PhD, co-director of the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston
"I loved Why We Dance. The film captures a vibrant virtual community of women united by a shared love of dancing. The teacher is inspiring, and the music a joy to listen to. It is a compelling film that will leave you deeply moved."
Ruth Kandel, M.D., Geriatrician (retired)
“Perhaps the most powerful message of the film for me was that every time someone dances any way they like and nobody cares, it opens the window a little wider for the rest of us to do exactly that ourselves.”
Peter Rukavina, writer, Prince Edward Island, Canada
“As a woman who recently turned 50, I was deeply inspired by this film. It made me happy. This film is a breath of love and fresh air on my fears of aging. It is also just a delight to watch. You won't be able to sit still.”
Irena F., Learning Designer, Boston University
“This film is so much fun that I’m working on getting it shown at two other venues in my life.”
Nancy B., Retired Psychologist
“What appealed to me was the community aspect of how all the participants became like a family.”
Jamie Jensen, Program Manager, Brookline Council on Aging at the Brookline Senior Center
“I was so pleased that so many young volunteers from the Multigenerational Discussion Group showed up. I think that shows not only how dedicated they are to our group, but also that the film sounds of interest to younger folks as well.”
Hannah Silver, Program Coordinator, Volunteer, Youth and Community Engagement, Hebrew Senior Life
“The film elicited quite a bit of excitement for dancing, which has the potential to really improve people’s lives through movement and joy. Such an inspiring movie.”
Rabbi James Morgan, Hebrew Senior Life
“The documentary screening was such a success and the residents loved it.”
