This retired nurse wants to give seniors a leg up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Carol Banez, 63, is switching into her white sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], getting ready for the Scarborough Ontario Seniors Association (SOSA) regular Saturday morning activity - line dancing.
People are slowly arriving, but by the time her 66-year-old husband Edd has the speaker system up and running, they are in position, ready to start.
But first, they stand for the national anthem, and then a catchy fast tune by the Soca Boys, and the words "follow the leader, leader, leader" get them going.
Close to 100 people, mostly Filipinos, form different lines, moving from left to right,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some looking at their feet to focus on their steps, others at ease on the floor and adding hand flourishes.
"We treat it as exercise and it's fun. If you tell me to go to the community centre or the gym, I'm not going to go," said Victor Uyham, 62.
His wife Carmelita, 60, added the socializing that happens afterward is also a big draw - from karaoke to health information sessions on managing stress and arthritis.
"You can socialize in one way, and then they teach you how to be active or how to prevent osteoporosis," she said. "We actually look forward to Saturdays."
At one point, Renato Caliexterio who is looking after his 3-year-old granddaughter Hailey, with adorable pigtails, starts dancing while holding her.
This program is the brainchild of Banez, a semi-retired geriatric nurse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who feels seniors are too often forgotten and abandoned by society.
When asked why she does this, she hesitates and almost breaks down. She takes a few seconds to gather her composure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], apologizes and then explains.
"I have a passion for older people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said. "It's because I see them as the ones who are the most ignored. There is this ageism, the view that they are not productive."
And for many immigrants who laboured in factories, retirement has found them at home, watching television and eating too much junk food.
That's why she started this program in 2009, thanks to a $25,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 grant from New Horizons for Seniors. Membership was initially $5 a year, but when the grant ran out, they boosted the fees to $10, with costs supplemented by fundraisers that naturally include dinners and dances.
Banez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was born and educated in the Philippines, went to Chicago as an exchange visitor's nurse. She ended up doing her master's degree in New York, specializing in geriatric nursing and then moved to Toronto.
She has worked at various hospitals and still does some part-time work at the University Health Network, focusing on seniors' wellness as well as a fall prevention program.
Banez, who has a grown son and daughter plus a 3-month-old grandchild, is busier than ever. Since 1993, she has been the president of the Philippine Heritage Band, a 35-year-old youth marching band based in Vaughan that just travelled to Boston to perform in several Fourth of July parades.
And every Christmas, the Banezes love to decorate their home with lights, both inside and out, a huge draw for the neighbourhood.
But their passion is the seniors' group,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
And without fail, every Saturday, people turn up. On this day, activities included a class on Theraband exercises,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a session on Hawaiian dance, a small group singing karaoke and a birthday celebration for a member.
While it may seem just like entertainment, Banez explained learning the steps to a line dance is good for the brain, just as karaoke forces singers to concentrate on the words and match the tones.
