LWer shares her love of dance

JOYFUL LINE DANCE

When Sunny Kim and her husband moved to Leisure World from Los Angeles, she quickly checked into a Joyful Line Dance class. Since that day in May, she hasn’t missed a single class. She says she loves being a part of the LW community, having made good friends and participating in a wide variety of activities. She also enjoys taking a daily walk with her husband.

With her love of line dancing, it was no surprise when Kim started to step in to help the class leaders any time there was a request from classmates. She is quick to pick up new dances. With club leader Anna Derby, Kim often leads the class in the “Bailando Boogaloo,” and she plans to expand her repertoire.

Joyful Line Dance meets every Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. upstairs in Clubhouse 6. When the club formed eight years ago, it was with the purpose of not only providing residents with the opportunity to improve their physical condition and mental acuity, but also to encourage the community’s male residents to get off their couches and socialize with others in a fun setting.

Everyone is invited to join the classes, which are currently limited to 30 people on a firstcome, first-served basis. Exercise shoes are recommended, and face masks are mandatory.

For more information about the class, text Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.
