Andrew Carroll, a former soloist with The Philadelphia Ballet and now a professor at the University of South Florida’s School of Dance, has produced the video “Dance for All Ages: Dance is for Every Body.” The video focuses on the importance of combating ageism and challenging stereotypes about older people.
The inspiration for the video came when Carroll was inspired by a colleague who offers a ballet class for older adults – a class that is consistently full of enthusiastic participants. The video features older persons sharing how ballet and dance have positively impacted their lives, regardless of age.
“The video carries a strong message about following your passion in life, no matter what circumstances you are living with, including ageing bodies.“
