由「尊贤会」主办,「周大福慈善基金」呈献的《耆舞派对 2016 》于 2016 年 4 月 10 日于九龙湾国际展贸中心展贸厅三举行。今年有 40 个来自不同社区长者中心或安老院舍的长者队伍,超过 1,000位长者大跳创新「快乐椅子舞」。今年大会增设了多个新奖项,并请来了香港特别行政区司长林郑月娥女士,尊贤会创办人张瑞霖先生、周大褔慈善基金理事纪文凤小姐、快乐椅子舞大使狄易达、谭淇淇、杜如科及多位嘉宾为《耆舞派对 2016 》主持开幕仪式。

 

独创快乐椅子舞 有效提升长者身心健康

《耆舞派对》是由「尊贤会」独创之快乐椅子舞活动,已连续第三年举办,通过社会企业模式,以快乐、运动及社交推动活力银龄 (Active Aging)。椅子舞是近代兴起的一种新式舞蹈,最早用在给明星排舞上。「尊贤会」将之演化,独家从英国引入,创立了快乐椅子舞。这是针对长者需要而设计的音乐运动,训练四肢协调、握力、平衡力和肌力,让长者安全地适量运动。快乐椅子舞由专业舞蹈教练,适合不同身体状况的长者(脑退化症患者、失去部分活动能力、体弱长者均适合)。「尊贤会」发现轻快的舞蹈寓运动于娱乐,能有效改善情绪,为长者带来健康和欢笑!研究更证实定期运动使长者跌倒比率下降 28%。

尊贤会创办人张瑞霖先生指出︰「边听音乐边做运动,可分析歌曲的节奏和拍子,并将节奏反射到运动中,提升运动效果,即配合音乐的运动不单纯是体能运动,还能锻炼大脑,刺激脑部的顶叶,改善对视觉空间的认知。日本三重大学便以年龄六十五岁以上、健康良好长者进行了为期一年的研究,发现长者边听音乐边做运动,可预防脑部退化,更有长者自觉记忆力显著提升。」

周大福慈善基金理事纪文凤小姐表示︰「我们十分荣幸能透过这项饶富意义的活动,在社区推广活力银龄的讯息。我们希望透过《耆舞派对 2016 》推动活力银龄,鼓励更多长者养成定期适量运动的习惯,提升长者身心健康与生活质素,为生活注入正能量。」

 

「耆舞派對 2016 大使」 狄易达显上自创舞曲 谭淇淇 杜如科 惊奇登场

青年歌手兼全能舞者狄易达获委任为耆舞派对 2016 快乐椅子舞大使。席间达仔(狄易达昵称)将亲自创作及编写快乐椅子舞,与逾千位长者一同大跳快乐椅子舞,向活力银龄的长者致敬。两位人气YouTuber「谭淇淇」、「杜如科」更是粉墨登场,以神奇化妆技巧精心打扮,与各位精灵耆英一同大跳椅子舞!

 

新设多个奖项 推动长者的积极参与

今年《耆舞派对 2016 》分为上午“活力组”及下午“欢乐组”,秉承「活跃社交、快乐老化」的精神,为长者提供展能平台,透过音乐、舞步和欢乐的气氛,让长者投入他们最熟悉的「快乐椅子舞」,从中获得欢乐、扩阔社交和改善身体健康,更让他们展现自信,把这份满足感和正能量与家人、朋友一同分享。为推动老友记的积极参与和自主,《耆舞派对 2016 》设多个奖项,包括《耆舞舞动大奖》、《最扮野造型奖》、《最声势浩大奖》、《最强大后盾奖》和《最动人时刻摄影大奖》。
