Seniors Can Shumka has been a success since it began in 2016, offering seniors an opportunity to enjoy Ukrainian music and movement in a weekly program of fun and fitness. Snacks and socializing follow, and the seniors finish the program by learning and performing their own dance. All levels of mobility are accepted and accommodated.
