Back in the day, a new nurse comes to the Miami senior center. See sees all the old folks sitting around all day, drinking coffee and eating pastry. She tries to start an exercise class, but no one is interested.

Then she announces a Senior Salsa class. She comes in in a frilly dress with two young male instructors. Puts on some old school music. First day she has three students. By the end of the week it’s up to fifty and they have to add an afternoon class.

People hate cardio, but they love to shake their tail feathers.
