The Art of Living

Spring 2025 Student Project Showcase Art of Living

The Spring 2025 edition of the TUTV Student Project Showcase is here, and it’s shining a well-deserved spotlight on what it means to live fully in life’s Golden Era. The Art of Living, a short film by KLN Class of 2025 graduate students Neil Ortiz and Stacy Landrum, celebrates senior citizens in their ‘Golden Era’ who are aging with energy, purpose, and a whole lot of rhythm.

Forget the stereotypes. This film isn’t about slowing down, it’s about moving forward. Neil and Stacy visit local communities where older adults dance, sweat, and laugh their way through retirement. They start in Broomall at Mostly Waltz, a monthly dance event where instructors Peggy Leiby and Ret Turner keep the music—and the feet—moving. Then it’s off to Pottstown, where Gail Bingham leads a high-energy dance aerobics class that’s anything but low-impact. In Mount Airy, Tina Allen’s Soul Line Dance class fills the room with rhythm, confidence, and joy.

And if you thought pickleball was just a trend, think again. The film highlights how this fast-growing sport has become a favorite for seniors looking for fun, fitness, and a little friendly competition.
