Just after her youngest child left for college, Anna Cruse got an email inviting her to try out for the Washington Wizards’ new, over-50 dance team: “And boy, oh boy, it seemed like perfect timing to me.” (via OnlyAGameNPR)
Anna Cruse danced on The Wizdom, an over-50 squad that performed at 10 Wizards games this past season.
"All of it — the friendships and the performances, even the practice — it was all exciting," Anna says."In the fall of ’79, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Very unexpected, very out of nowhere. It just was a little bit of an ordeal," Anna says. "And so they invited all the players back, and the coaches," Anna says."And then any of the dancers through the years — I think there were about 60 of us — and we got to perform at this event. It sure reminded me of how enjoyable it was. And the feeling you cannot describe while you’re waiting there in the wings, and you’re waiting to go out there and perform."Anna wanted to hold onto that feeling.
"Absolute characters," Anna says."Totally uninhibited. Comfortable in their own skin, and just entertaining folks."
