To the Editor:

Joyful. That's one of the many feelings I had as we danced with the Pilobolus dance group at Reed School on February 3. It was a pleasure to work with our teacher, Edwin, to prepare for the dance and a wonderful bonding experience to dance with our fellow seniors. The staff of Pilobolus, including Emily, and also the sound and light technicians and Ali Psomas of ASAP, all worked to make it a fun experience for all of the students and seniors involved. A big thank you to Gary Difilippantonio who brought the program to the attention of Newtown Senior Services and Marilyn Place, director of the Senior Center, for making the dance lessons possible for us. Also, thank you to the sponsors of the activity, William Pitt and Sotheby's, and the After School Arts Program (ASAP). We will always have wonderful memories of our experience.
