"Glinka's students cover the full spectrum, from cotillion youth to pre-wedding couples to seniors in wheelchairs. 'I taught a class called 'Dance on Wheels,' and you wouldn't believe how much fun they had actually dancing in their chairs, she says. Convinced that the social and human-touch aspects of dance are as important to health as the cardio benefits, she hopes to find interest in funding more dance programs for seniors."
