  We present results from our ongoing effort to understand the nature and
evolution of nearby galaxies using the SAURON integral-field spectrograph. In
this proceeding we focus on the study of the particular case formed by the
interacting galaxies NGC5953 and NGC5954. We present stellar and gas kinematics
of the central regions of NGC5953. We use a simple procedure to determine the
age of the stellar populations in the central regions and argue that we may be
witnessing the formation of a kinematically decoupled component from cold gas
being acquired during the ongoing interaction with NGC5954.
