In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19,
We support seniors who have fewer opportunities to go out in order to improve their health and prevent illness.
Kanagawa Prefecture is promoting the realization of an inclusive society through its Magnet Culture (MagCal) initiative, which attracts people with the appeal of culture and art and creates vibrancy in the community. As part of the "Inclusive Co-creation Project," which aims to enable everyone, from children to adults, to participate in and enjoy performing arts regardless of disability or age, we are now releasing free dance lesson videos that can be done at home and incorporate movements that are easy for seniors to practice. Let's combat a sedentary lifestyle and work towards improving health through daily lessons.
《Background of video creation》
Currently, the senior dance project "Challenge of the Silver," which is being implemented as part of the "Coexistence and Co-creation Project," has suspended workshops and other activities 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 performed by Yoko Ando, a world-class dancer who serves as an instructor for the "Challenge of the Silver" workshops, so that even those who have never participated in a workshop before can experience the charm of dance and enjoy improving their health.
