Our goal is to encourage active adults to take part in line dancing for health.  We hope to increase the population in our dance community by raising awareness on health benefits associated with line dancing.

Any individuals, line dance instructors, and volunteers are welcome to assist us in any future fundraising events.

Winnie would like to express her appreciation to her Tai chi Instructor, Master Kwan, who has dedicated his life to Tai Chi as an instructor in Canada for over 20 years. He is an active senior at the age of 86.
