"My senior dance squad brings it on!"
Woman's Day US|August - September 2023
Susan Avery founded the Pacemakers Dance Team, and it put the pep back in her own step.
"My senior dance squad brings it on!"

Susan, a journalist turned teacher, was 57 when she joined the dance team for the Brooklyn Cyclones Minor League Baseball team, whose members were mostly 25 and younger. She loved it, but the awful age-related insults about her in a fan-run fan page on Facebook (not affiliated with the team) tainted an otherwise wonderful experience. "At the end of the season, I thanked the team and turned in my costume," she says. "I figured my dancing days were over." That is, until a few months later, when her daughter asked her, "Why don't you start your own dance team?" Susan decided to give it a whirl.
