Mature H.O.T Women |
|
|
The Deeply Rooted Dance Theater is the professional dance ensemble of Deeply Rooted Productions in Chicago. After receiving feedback from attendees of the dance performances, Deeply Rooted launched a class for "Mature H.O.T. Women"-that is, Health Conscious, Optimistic, and Triumphant-in January of 2007. "The performances made people want to dance," says Charmaine Hamer, the Business Manager for Deeply Rooted Productions, who spoke about the increasing demand among active older adults and baby boomers for the dance class.
The classes have grown and the organization now holds four, eight week sessions per year. Although the women in the class range in age, most are between 45 and 75. Participants do not need to have dance experience to take part in the class, which is geared to older women and includes extended warm up and cool down periods.
