1951 · Musical/Romance · 113 min

Director: Vincente Minnelli

Cast: Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant

In Paris, Jerry, a young bohemian American painter living in Paris who is being courted by a wealthy heiress, falls in love with Lise, the fiancée of one of his friends. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS is universally famous for its final scene: Jerry believes he can never be with Lise and has a fantastical dream in which he dances with her throughout the streets of Paris. The scene lasts 17 minutes, set to music by George Gershwin, and each successive setting evokes a different French painter: Duffy, Renoir, Utrillo, Le Douanier, Rousseau, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec. These 17 minutes remain etched in everyone’s memory. And for good reason: Gene Kelly’s choreography, Leslie Caron’s youthful charm, Vincente Minnelli’s brilliant direction, the visual design by Jack Martin Smith and Irene Sharaff, and John Alton’s Technicolor cinematography. It won six Oscars in 1951, including Best Picture. A landmark in the history of cinema.

What are the health benefits of line dancing? The main physical health benefit of line dancing is that it provides a fun workout by improving heart and respiratory function: dancing burns as many calories as walking or cycling. Many people who find it hard to get excited about an aerobics or gymnastics class will find the rhythm and choreography of line dancing to be more tempting and spirit-friendly options. Dancing, however long you exercise, requires strength, balance and coordination, so it's a great way to improve memory, focus, balance, and stability. This is especially true as you get older, as good balance helps prevent falls. Another advantage: the movements strengthen the bones and muscles of the hips and legs. 

Marjolaine and Cathy, resident volunteers, will host board games in the library on a weekly basis. Come test your skills and play while having fun! Sequence, Mexican Train, quirkle, joker rummy, snakes and ladders. There will be choices for everyone!
