Dancer Frances Wessels ~ Another Octagenerian Role Model

This video speaks for itself.

 

It is women like this who have inspired me on my career as a dance movement therapist. Wessels:

"healthier mentally as well as physically and emotionally" because I think we need to express ourselves in some ways.. . . People who can't express themselves in any way are often stuffed up.... All life is an improvisation and to be able to express it through movement is the most natural, healthful and happiness-producing way to be."

Thanks to Jason Akira Somma for his documentary, Frances Wessels A Portrait of 89 Years. Frances Wessels danced with Hanya Holm and Martha Graham.
