After losing my son to terror, I started dancing at 70 to learn how to live again
When I landed in the hospital for an operation on my colon, my doctor said, “No more grief. You need to do things that are fun.”
After losing her son Koby to a terrorist attack 25 years ago, the author found happiness to be a "foreign country." Following a doctor's advice to pursue enjoyable activities, she began taking Broadway Jazz dance classes at age 70. Initially, her goal was personal enjoyment and movement, not performance.

At the end, residents joined the dancers, creating a shared moment of joy and movement, transcending their differences.
