Dancing For The Dream

Dancing For The Dream is an American national 501(c)(3) non-profit senior health charity established by the country recording artist Scooter Lee, with the instructor and choreographer Jo Thompson Szymanski as founding dance consultant, to promote physical and emotional health for people over 50 through low-impact line dancing.

The charity runs one-day health and line dance seminars limited to 250 dancers, weekend Bootscooter Line Dance Camps in the United States and Canada, and Bootscooter "Sail-abration" cruises; by the end of 2005 more than 10,000 seniors had attended a Dancing For The Dream seminar. Its G.R.A.C.E. continuing-education programme trains line dance instructors to work with active older adults. Betty Drummond of Linedancer has served as its UK and European director.
