JFD workshops for Senior Adults provide mental and physical stimulation and intergenerational interaction. A welcoming climate facilitates participation despite language barriers or physical ability. 

JFD workshops for Senior Adults are sponsored by Washington Forrest Foundation and Arlington Community Foundation.

"On the days that Jane’s troupe was at the Center, fifteen to twenty seniors could be seen on their feet, moving and dancing with the members of the dance company. The others were watching with interest. It is a tribute to the young dancers that they were able to inspire people who sometimes have difficulty walking to get out of their chairs and move their bodies in harmony with both the music and the trained dancers who accompanied them. It is also to their credit that in our multi-ethnic center, they were able to engage and include many participants who speak no English."
