Social Dances Offer Fun, Connection and an Antidote to Winter Isolation

Before Jack Daly of Burlington showed up at his first social dance in 2016, the only dancing he’d done besides “jumping up and down at rock concerts” involved a single frustrating salsa class with a very stern teacher. But in the dark winter months after the breakup of his marriage, the then-64-year-old’s spirits were low. He hadn’t gotten out of the house in a while.
