While there are many activities to exercise each separately, few benefit both simultaneously.<\/p><p>A graceful group of local residents have identified one such activity, and they\u2019re hoping other seniors will join them on the dance floor. A few dozen people ages 70 and older meet at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio on the West Hartford\/Newington town line several times a week. At least four among the group happen to be over the age of 80, but that doesn\u2019t stop them from strapping up their sparkly heels.<\/p><p>\u201cIf you can walk, you can dance,\u201d says Norma Hattings, 81. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralctcommunications.com\/newbritainherald\/article_82b994c0-bfef-11e5-9a6e-b7ebc3dfc3f8.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">READ MORE\u2026.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ha-toggle__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ha-toggle__item-title-2173\" class=\"ha-toggle__item-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"ha-toggle__item-content-2173\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ha-toggle__item-icon ha-toggle__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ha-toggle__icon--closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ha-toggle__icon--opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ha-toggle__item-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ha-toggle__item-title-text\">For Some Couples, Dancing Keeps Hearts Beating Emotionally and Physically<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ha-toggle__item-content-2173\" class=\"ha-toggle__item-content\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"ha-toggle__item-title-2173\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>WEST HARTFORD \u2014 February is Heart Health Month.
