Dance in the park

This is a scene from a senior citizens nigh in the park. Each week-end night this summer there were shows or music in this small performance area, and this night was for them. Maybe it looks a bit ridiculous, but it was touching to see them dance (this was just the beginning, the most daring couples! You should have seen them later!) and enjoy themselves like that, considering they don't have an easy life here. I did not expect seeing anyone that age doing anything else than complaining. But they did, and I don't know if I would have had the courage to dance in front of all that people. The band was not bad, there was a singer too, and the music must have been just right for them: The Beatles, "Strangers in the Night" and such things. Good for them!

A wonderful idea! Seniors also have a right to dance and enjoy.

Absolutely. And to be offered a small pleasure like this.
