Step aside, disco balls! Arline Edgewood Spring Creek Meridian is the ultimate dancing queen!

She’s always moved to her own beat and is the first one on the floor. Whether it’s live music, a community event, or a spontaneous jam session in the street; Arline is somehow getting everyone else to join in. She’s out dancing every week with her friends, proving age is just a number!

Raising seven kids, including a set of twins, taught her a thing or two about juggling life. "I have my own space, but also companionship. I’m not lonely like when I lived alone. I’ve made friends to go dancing with, take walks, or even grab lunch!”

Arline dances through life. And at Edgewood, that’s exactly the kind of joy we love having around. We are Edgewood.
