They're getting their costumes ready, and preparing to kick up their heels. The "B"zz are back by popular demand at this year's Seniors Expo®, running September 27-28 at International Market Square.

The "B"zz (pronounced Bees) is a non-profit dance troupe comprised of retired women, whose median age is 73. Their 300+ repertoire ranges from country line dancing to the samba. In addition to performing, these vivacious ladies eagerly teach audience members of all ages a few of their signature dance moves. The group was invited back to the Seniors Expo® following rave reviews of last year's performance.

"People watching us realize there is nothing wrong with having fun," comments "B"zz president Marion Nichols. "We like to show seniors that no matter what they want to do - whether it's dancing or rollerblading -- now is the time to do it!" She adds, "I can't think of anything we're too old to do. None of us had dance lessons as kids. We all got married and raised a family. Now it's our time."

The goal of the Seniors Expo® is to help seniors get more fun and excitement out of retirement, just as the "B"zz are doing. Dancing with the "B"zz helps these women keep in shape physically and mentally. They enjoy the exercise, their ability to entertain, and their involvment 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.

The "B"zz will perform both days of the Seniors Expo® from noon to 1 p.m. In addition to the "B"zz, the Expo will showcase up to 200 exhibitors, and two stages of speakers, demonstrations and fun entertainment for the entire family.

The Seniors Expo® will be held September 27-28 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at International Market Square. Admission is $3 with the half price coupon available on the Web site (www.101expos.com), and free to kids 17 and under when accompanied by an adult.

The Seniors Expo® is produced by Mid-America Events & Expos, Inc. which also produces the Family Fun Festival®, Body Mind Life Expo®, and the new baby boomer Expo® which premiers November 8-9 at International Market Square.
