LET’S DANCE: City brings community together with inclusive holiday dance

The San Marcos Activity Center was alive with music and dancing on Nov. 21 for the holiday-themed Dance for Adults with Disabilities. The Parks and Recreation department hosts several throughout the year.

The dances began around 2003 “due to a need for meaningful social activities for our community members living with special needs,” according to Parks and Recreation Marketing and Outreach Coordinator Christie Murillo.

The holiday dance had music by DJfrankgallo and a performance by the Texas State University Golden Elite Dance Team, who also helped keep the crowd’s energy up when they were not performing. TXST Pre-Occupation Therapy Organization also volunteered at the event, providing assistance when needed, as well as dance partners.
