Colmenar Viejo is expanding its traditional summer dance program for seniors, adding open-air evenings at the Bullring Plaza, open to the entire family, in addition to the events at the 'El Vivero' Social Center.

The Department of Seniors in Colmenar Viejo has extended its summer dance offerings, which will take place on Fridays and Saturdays throughout July. This year's program includes not only the usual gatherings at the 'El Vivero' Social Center but also new open-air evenings at the music kiosk on the Bullring Plaza esplanade, designed to encourage intergenerational participation.
On Saturdays, July 4, 11, 18, and 25, the 'El Vivero' Social Center will host dances starting at 8:30 PM, maintaining a more intimate and social format for the senior community. In parallel, on Fridays, July 3, 10, 17, and 24, the music kiosk at the Bullring Plaza will feature 'summer dances for seniors and their families' from 9:00 PM to midnight.
For the Friday events, performances by the Trío Nueva Era on July 3 and 10, and the Trío Péndulo on July 17 and 24, have already been confirmed. Both venues, 'El Vivero' and the Bullring Plaza esplanade, offer accessible environments tailored to the audience's needs.

"We want our seniors to have fun, socialize, and have a pleasant time, enjoying themselves just as they did when they were young. They can come as a couple or come alone and find a dance partner at the center itself. The only requirement is to want to have a good time and enjoy the music and dancing."

Enrique Navarro Hermosilla · Councilor for Family, Seniors, Youth, and Childhood
Councilor Enrique Navarro Hermosilla emphasized that these events aim not only for leisure but also to serve as meeting points and opportunities for neighborly interaction, combating isolation. The initiative of intergenerational open-air dances intends for grandparents, children, and grandchildren to share moments of musical enjoyment.
The program will culminate on Saturday, July 25, with the 'Grandparents' Day Fiesta' at the 'El Vivero' Social Center. This event will include recognitions for outstanding individuals from Colmenar Viejo's senior community, a musical performance, and catering for all attendees, celebrating the experience and legacy of the elderly.
In total, Colmenar Viejo will offer eight nights of dancing in July, with free access to all evenings, aiming to promote an active and social summer for its residents.
