65-year-old retiree shows it’s possible to teach the blind to line dance

IT IS a Thursday night and as bustling Brickfields winds down to a leisurely pace outside, the distinct voice of line dancing instructor Jenny Chan can be heard loud and clear over the catchy music in the hall as she gives out instructions: “One, two, cha cha cha...five, six, seven, eight!”

Line-dancing groups are a dime a dozen especially in residential communities like Chan’s Bandar Kinrara 5 and many people, mostly women, have taken up the activity as a form of exercise and social networking.
