Modeling, freestyle dancing South Korea's creative solutions to keep its rapidly aging population young.
Surrounded by psychedelic lights bouncing off a glittery mirror ball, more than 100 gray-haired men and women gather at the disco stage in Seoul twice a week to dance their afternoon away. In this disco party strictly reserved for seniors over 60, some even put on flashy masquerade masks, wigs and costumes to twirl and bop while singing along to local hits.
Activities such as freestyle dancing help seniors move muscles they wouldn’t normally use and participating in mass sing-alongs can be effective in preventing Alzheimer’s, Lee said. Programs for South Korea’s senior citizens extend beyond governmental efforts. Korea Health Industry Development Institute estimated that the market targeting the senior population, dubbed the “silver economy,” will grow to be a nearly 73 trillion KRW industry by 2020 in eight sectors, notably in leisure and entertainment.
