Popping is a street dance style that originated in the 1960s in California.

Many people confuse it with the robot dance, but it’s not quite the same.

This video shows one amusing situation that came up during a breakdancing competition.

Many young dancers came together to show their moves and style.

That’s when 80-year-old grandpa comes to the scene and impresses everyone.

His casual approach to the ring is hilarious.

The young dancers are all around, showing off their moves and amusing the audience.

Each one of them is talented, but they can’t compare to grandpa’s stage presence.

He is relaxed and his every move says:

“I have been doing this for years. Experience is on my side.”

His confidence is amazing, and he shows that he can follow everyone’s choreography and add a little something of his own to it.

As this video proves, age doesn’t mean a thing!

This old man proves that age means nothing when you have the will to do whatever you please.

At 80 years old, he has some really good choreography and plenty of fast moves.

He is entertaining and classy at the same time.

For a moment, you forget that it’s a competition.

You just see a lot of people having a really good time and doing their best!

In the end, it’s not about winning—it’s about the effort you put into things you love.

This old man put a lot of effort and some of his moves are quite unbelievable.

It is impressive that someone his age can do all those things.

Despite their differences, everyone in the video came together.

The most beautiful thing about this video is the fact that dancing brought together different generations.

The way that these young men are enjoying themselves with the older man proves that certain things can connect us despite our differences.

Older people can get some motivation from this man and understand that age shouldn’t stop them from doing what they want to do.

This man owned the stage and behaved as part of the event.

A lot of people made comments about wanting to feel like him when they grow old… and we can understand why.

This video was uploaded on YouTube in 2015, and since then, it has been viewed more than six million times.

He was an inspiration and a figure of an old man still in the game.

Even so, there may be more to this story that meets the eye… as some people on the internet have claimed that this is not an old man, but a very popular Chinese popping dancer in disguise.

But who is it really?

We’re kind of hoping it really is an old man… though it may also be Yang Wenhao, a Chinese dancer who is alleged to have dressed himself up.

Whatever the case is, we still find this video funny.

It still featured a big amount of some great popping moves, the music was awesome and it makes you cheerful.

If it really is a disguise, then it is a really good one.

It does take away some magic, but it’s still a good prank.

Check out the full performance in the clip below!
