They are magical reindeers at parties and
churches, pink fluffy unicorns at Air Force
reunions, and zombies at retirement homes.
They are the Calendar Girls – Florida’s most
dedicated dance team for women over 60.
Calendar Girls is a coming-of-golden-age film
about the second teenage phase – the retirement
age. It’s a time to redefine yourself, to
find the person you once were or the person
you’ve always wanted to be.
Through intimate portraits and choreographed
dance scenes the film captures the challenges
of being a woman over 60. Friendship, tears,
humor, aging, relationships and identities take
on new shapes and new dreams are born.
Calendar Girls is a life-affirming dance documentary
that is shaking up the outdated
image of what it means to be an “old lady”. And
it’s a call for everyone to dance their heart out,
while you still can.
