My mom has always loved to dance. Growing up in Trinidad, she specifically loved calypso music. Although she can't carry on a conversation in the way that she once did, she still is able to occasionally surprise us with her dancing. Of course she isn't like this all the time but it's amazing to see her get up off the couch and see her come to life in this way.
At my "Aunt" Flo's July 4th party, my mother was in rare form and they danced to the song, Hot Hot Hot. Flo sent me a message and said, "I got my friend Ruby to dance with me!!! I feel so grateful to have Ruby back for a few minutes!!!"

Joseph Campbell once said, "You don't ask what dance means, you enjoy it" so i hope you enjoyed the video above and if you have family members or friends with memory loss, please play music for them. In my experiences with my mom, I'm consistently blown away by the power of music.
