Joe Murphy spoke to us about ballroom dancing and it many benefits, including physical and mental health. It can also help people with autism. Joe told of a program starting in the Fall in association with Rowen Universtity that will run a ballroom dancing program for young people with autism. The program will be run at Grace Church in Haddonfield.
Joe also talked about the arts in Haddonfield. There are several parts to this. There is a Boxwood organization working to get more visibility for the current arts activities in Haddonfield. These include Theater (Plays and Players), Art (Markheim), Dance (Dance Haddonfield) and Music.
The orgaization is not looking at a single location at this point. They are taking the current status of all activities and assessing future needs in the hope that this will define the needs for a future venue (or venues). Boxwood could be one of the choices. But that is a whole different discussion after the needs are collected.
Joe also told about the group resposible for the sculptures that have appeared around town. One of the most talked about was the 2 women on the bench at Tanner St. The group is the Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust (HOST).
