Foot Loose and Fancy Free!
Back by popular demand: The "B"zz are dancing into town for the Seniors Spring Show

Get ready to tap your toes and join in the fun! After missing last fall’s Seniors Expo due to a much-deserved Greek vacation, The “B”zz will be dancing to an all new show called Foot Loose and Fancy Free during the upcoming Seniors Spring Show (www.101expos.com), April 14-15 at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake.

People just can’t help falling in love with this popular benevolent seniors dance troupe that has been entertaining crowds for years. The “B”zz (pronounced Bees) are also loved for giving back to the community: performing at nursing homes, hospitals and hospices as well as entertaining people of all ages at community events. Comprised of retired women, their 300+ repertoire ranges from country line dancing to the samba. The group is a crowd favorite at the Seniors Spring Show and the Seniors Expo.

“We all love to dance,” exclaims Betty Schoen, president of The “B”zz. “We even still take classes.”

The goal of the Seniors Spring Show is to help seniors get more fun and excitement out of retirement, just as the “B”zz have always done. Dancing with the “B”zz helps these women keep in shape physically and mentally. They enjoy the exercise, their ability to entertain, and their involvement with audiences of all ages. The “B”zz stay busy throughout the year performing at local festivals, parades and the Mall of America, among other venues. They have even served as Grand Marshals of Edina’s Fourth of July parade.

The “B”zz will kick up their heels both days of the Seniors Spring Show, an event that also will showcase up to products and services geared toward seniors and caregivers, plus free seminars, workshops and entertainment. And there will be hundreds of dollars in free prizes and giveaways, including the chance to win a TV/DVD combo or a new conservatory.
