由「尊賢會」主辦,「周大福慈善基金」呈獻的《耆舞派對2016》於 2016 年 4 月 10 日於九龍灣國際展貿中心展貿廳三舉行。今年有 40 個來自不同社區長者中心或安老院舍的長者隊伍,超過 1,000 位長者大跳創新「快樂椅子舞」。今年大會增設了多個新獎項,並請來了香港特別行政區司長林鄭月娥女士,尊賢會創辦人張瑞霖先生、周大褔慈善基金理事紀文鳳小姐、快樂椅子舞大使狄易達、譚淇淇、杜如科及多位嘉賓為《耆舞派對 2016 》主持開幕儀式。

 

快樂椅子舞 有效提升長者身心健康

《耆舞派對》是由「尊賢會」獨創之快樂椅子舞活動,已連續第三年舉辦,通過社會企業模式,以快樂、運動及社交推動活力銀齡 (Active Aging)。椅子舞是近代興起的一種新式舞蹈,最早用在給明星排舞上。「尊賢會」將之演化,獨家從英國引入,創立了快樂椅子舞。這是針對長者需要而設計的音樂運動,訓練四肢協調、握力、平衡力和肌力,讓長者安全地適量運動。快樂椅子舞由專業舞蹈教練,適合不同身體狀況的長者(腦退化症患者、失去部分活動能力、體弱長者均適合)。「尊賢會」發現輕快的舞蹈寓運動於娛樂,能有效改善情緒,為長者帶來健康和歡笑!研究更證實定期運動使長者跌倒比率下降 28%。

尊賢會創辦人張瑞霖先生指出︰「邊聽音樂邊做運動,可分析歌曲的節奏和拍子,並將節奏反射到運動中,提升運動效果,即配合音樂的運動不單純是體能運動,還能鍛煉大腦,刺激腦部的頂葉,改善對視覺空間的認知。日本三重大學便以年齡六十五歲以上、健康良好長者進行了為期一年的研究,發現長者邊聽音樂邊做運動,可預防腦部退化,更有長者自覺記憶力顯著提升。」

周大福慈善基金理事紀文鳳小姐表示︰「我們十分榮幸能透過這項饒富意義的活動,在社區推廣活力銀齡的訊息。我們希望透過《耆舞派對 2016 》推動活力銀齡,鼓勵更多長者養成定期適量運動的習慣,提升長者身心健康與生活質素,為生活注入正能量。」

 

「耆舞派對 2016 大使」狄易達顯上自創舞曲 譚淇淇 杜如科 驚奇登場

青年歌手兼全能舞者狄易達獲委任為耆舞派對2016快樂椅子舞大使。席間達仔(狄易達暱稱)將親自創作及編寫快樂椅子舞,與逾千位長者一同大跳快樂椅子舞,向活力銀齡的長者致敬。兩位人氣YouTuber「譚淇淇」、「杜如科」更是粉墨登場,以神奇化妝技巧精心打扮,與各位精靈耆英一同大跳椅子舞!

 

新設多個獎項 推動長者的積極參與

今年《耆舞派對 2016 》分為上午「活力組」及下午「歡樂組」,秉承「活躍社交、快樂老化」的精神,為長者提供展能平台,透過音樂、舞步和歡樂的氣氛,讓長者投入他們最熟悉的「快樂椅子舞」,從中獲得歡樂、擴闊社交和改善身體健康,更讓他們展現自信,把這份滿足感和正能量與家人、朋友一同分享。為推動老友記的積極參與和自主,《耆舞派對 2016 》設多個獎項,包括《耆舞舞動大獎》、《最扮野造型獎》、《最聲勢浩大獎》、《最強大後盾獎》和《最動人時刻攝影大獎》。
