Rock 'n' rolling Changhua grandpas and grandmas march towards Taipei Arena

With an average age of 76, members of this energetic group of dancers from Changhua are busily preparing for a performance at the Taipei Arena in October. This year, HONDAO Senior Citizen’s Welfare Foundation (弘道基金會) has sponsored the 5th Senior on Broadway (仙角百老匯) event, inviting ten performing troupes from around the country to Taipei Arena – “R&R Oldies from Changhua Zhongquan Community” is one of the ten troupes that will perform in Taipei.  

Taipei Arena is the foremost performing stage in Taiwan, and as such all of the performances are expected to be outstanding. In spite of the fact that their aging bodies present all kinds of problems and injuries, the performers have overcome these physical limitations with incredible perseverance and endurance. This new activity provides these grandmas and granddads with a concrete focus in daily life and therefore the up-and-coming performance is extremely significant.

衝啦！老年生活新風貌，彰化搖滾爺奶前進小巨蛋

這一群充滿活力的舞者來自彰化，平均年齡76歲的他們正在籌備十月份在台北小巨蛋的演出。今年，由弘道基金會主辦的第五屆《仙角百老匯》，召集全台各地十組長者表演團體在小巨蛋表演，「彰化縣彰化市忠權社區搖滾爺奶」便是其中一組。

小巨蛋是台灣最具指標性的舞台，所有演出都精彩可期，而由於長者們身體老化，在表演上需要做調整。因為年紀較大，長者身上都有許多舊傷，但他們努力克服身體上的限制，毅力耐力驚人。對於阿公阿嬤來說，這次表演是意義重大的，因為這個活動，他們的日常生活變得有目標。
