With the popularity of reality TV dance competitions, your students and the audience will be delighted to jump onto the dance bandwagon and participate in this fun filled and uplifting musical! The classic rock songs showcased in this musical have made an invaluable contribution to our pop music culture. Our story takes place in a senior center where all is quiet and calm and perhaps a bit boring; that is until the Center Director decides to use music and dance to bring fun and excitement into the lives of the seniors. Through songs and dances that were very much a part of the seniors' past, the Director, along with friends and family, encourage the seniors to get off their rockers and join in on the fun. All of the dances in Off Their Rockers are easy to learn with several different options for performing them. The dances can be performed by pairs, small groups or presented as full cast production numbers. If you are performing the musical with several classes or grade levels, you may choose to assign a different song and dance to each class or level.
