Jasmine Gerard, DFK22 Group Leader
Dance for Kindness is more than an event, but a movement that changes lives right before your eyes. The main dancers for DFK GR were the residents from Baldwin House Senior Living. I teach them weekly exercise and dance classes, and after participating in DFK via video last year, their confidence in their abilities increased enormously. This year we grew from having only a handful of residents participate to more than we could fit in one room! I thoroughly enjoyed working with the community to make this event successful. I didn’t believe I couldn’t fulfill the group leader role, but Orly motivated me and helped me feel more than capable. I felt well equipped with all the group leader training and DFK resources. My favorite part of this year’s flash mob was seeing the number of generations that participated. We had an 8 year old dancing the same routine as a 94 year old! Kindness, dance, and music truly connects people from all walks of life.
