To prevent the spread of COVID-19,
We support seniors who have fewer opportunities to go out to improve their health.
Kanagawa Prefecture is promoting the realization of an inclusive society through its Magnet Culture (Magcul) initiative, which attracts people with the appeal of culture and the arts and creates a lively community. As part of the "Coexistence and Co-creation Project," which aims to enable everyone, from children to adults, to participate in and enjoy performing arts, regardless of age or disability, Kanagawa Prefecture is releasing free dance lesson videos that can be done at home, incorporating movements that are easy for seniors to practice. Get daily lessons to eliminate lack of exercise and work to prevent illness.
《Background of the video creation》
Currently, the senior dance project "Challenge of the Silver," which is being implemented as part of the "Symbiosis and Co-creation Project," is refraining from activities such as workshops to prevent the spread of COVID-19. With seniors having fewer opportunities to go out and becoming more prone to lack of exercise, we have decided to create and release a dance video that can be easily done at home, planned and starring Yoko Ando, a world-renowned dancer and instructor at the "Challenge of the Silver" workshop, to allow even those who have never participated in a workshop before to experience the appeal of dance and have fun working to improve their pre-illness status.
