Line Dance with Sharon
“Bimbi Line Dancers”
“Alice Bimbi started this group 23 years ago. The group
used to perform at events, nursing homes etc. When
she retired one of her students, Dorothy, took over the
class. I joined this group seven years ago and soon
became her substitute teacher. Not long after, I started
the advanced class per student’s request. Dorothy retired
when she was 90 years old and I then took over. It is
an important lesson to keep moving and staying active.
Dorothy was a perfect example of that. Most of us love
to dance but hate to exercise.” – Sharon Sturdivent.
Partners are not needed to join this informal, social
and friendly dance group for adults 55 and wiser!
