Sit and Line Dance promotes the concept of dancing can be performed while you are seated. This will provide seniors with more choices to exercise. There are many advantages of Sit and Line Dance, namely:
Help seniors to maintain and improve muscle tone, especially muscles in the fore and upper arms, those in their calves, toes and heels. This helps their muscle coordination. When music and dance go together, this can bring back their past memories, improve rhythmic feeling, relax their bodies, soothe their minds and emotion. Exercise while you are dancing can enhance their interest in body workout, improving cardio vascular function. While participating in dancing, their confidence level will be raised; they forget about their frustration and worries. Fortifying their memory and ability to focus on the five sense organs

Sit and Line Dance will use versatile and senior friendly way to deliver our lessons. Our instructors will choose songs of appropriate tempo, recognized-by-seniors kind of oldies in our dancing program. Songs may be simplified and rearranged to suit our students progress. Our main purpose is to encourage our seniors to participate in this activity, and once again enjoy the fun of music and dancing they used to listen to. It is our hope that this will bring joy and happiness to them again, with our loving care.

坐著跳舞的概念及模式是為不能站立太久，或需要用助行架幫助步行,下肢無力…的長者而構思的。
「坐座排舞」推動「坐在座位上也可跳舞」的概念，擴闊行動不便的長者的活動選擇。特色是小組參加者坐在椅上，配合音樂拍和及導師帶領，學習跳舞。「坐座排舞」有很多好處，包括:
|
- 協助長者保持及增强肌肉活動能力，尤其一些平常少用的肌肉組群 如 前臂，上臂，小腿，足尖足跟等，改善手腳的協調功能；
- 音樂結合舞蹈，為長者帶來回憶，增強節奏感，鬆弛身心，舒緩情緒；
- 寓運動於舞蹈， 增加做運動的樂趣 ; 強健心肺功能；
- 從參與跳舞，增強長者的自信心,忘煩解憂;
- 強化記憶及五官的專注力…
|
|
「坐座排舞」會採用活潑並適合長者體能的形式進行，導師會選擇一些節拍合適，長者又熟悉的懷舊歌曲，重新編排動作及步法，以簡易形式指導及以關愛的心來帶領長者進行。目的是鼓勵長者積極參與，重新享受跳舞的樂趣,祈為他們帶來喜樂。 |
