The arts can contribute many things to older adults. No matter if its art, music, dance, opera, or whatever, seniors can benefit from them. When senior citizens take part in music and dance , they can express themselves. They feel young, and can showcase their talents and show people sides of themselves they may not normally see.
Dancing is also a great form of exercise.
Going to plays, visiting art galleries and museums not only passes the time, but helps them learn about culture to enrich themselves. Participating in the arts also allows mature adults to get closer to their friends and family. Since they are doing things together, they learn about each other. It can also help with interaction with the community when senior citizens go to plays, or exhibits. They have opportunities to help the community financially as well.
