Morris Dancers entertain Bournemouth care home residents
The Quayside Cloggies, who will be appearing at Wimborne Minster Folk Festival at the weekend, entertained Castle Dene care home residents.
Whilst local people have to wait until this weekend for the Wimborne Minster Folk Festival, residents in a care home in Bournemouth have had a special preview.
Castle Dene care home on Throop Road welcomed dancers and musicians from the Quayside Cloggies for a morning of live music and entertainment.
The Morris Dancers will be appearing at the festival which takes place this weekend from 7 to 9 June.
Following the performance of the Quayside Cloggies, the care home residents and team were invited to join in with the music and dancing.
Castle Dene resident, Betty said: “I had a wonderful morning. I loved watching the dancers but the icing on the cake was being invited to join in with the last dance. I had so much fun.”
George, who also lives at the care home, said: “I admire the dancers because I could not dance like that for long. I really enjoyed watching them and the musicians were also very good. I thoroughly enjoyed joining in with the last dance. It was great fun.”
Lana Wright, home manager, said: “Many of our residents enjoy music and dancing, so it was great to welcome the Quayside Cloggies to the care home. At Care South, we love encouraging the residents in our care to continue pursuing their passions and interests, so it was lovely to see Betty, George, and the other residents clapping their hands, stamping their feet and dancing to the music.”
