Walk into a practice session for Cedar Crest’s Tappers and you’d think you’ve stumbled on a group that has decades of collective tap experience: They tap in unison while dancing around in different formations.

Four nights a week at Cedar Crest, residents gather to watch current and vintage movies. Each “movie night” has a slightly different personality, but they all have one thing in common: both the residents who pick out the films to show and the residents who watch them love the movies. They know what they like—and they’re not afraid to mention what they disliked.

Due to the increased cost of doing business, this is an era of belt-tightening for state governments, and social programs like senior services are usually the first things that get cut.
