I changed my playlist for my Move This* program. On the first song Anna, one of my regulars, exclaimed “Hey that’s Doris Day”! I had included Que Sera, Sera by Doris Day. As we danced, Anna’s eyes misty, she smiled and talked about how the song had come out when she was a teenager. Her visceral reaction was so strong, it moved me. At the end of class she asked if I would play the song again. So I did and we danced again. Music and dance can transport us to another time. It can help you remember things, places and emotions connected to a certain song.
Days like this I truly enjoy.
See you on the dance floor,
Denita Inez
