Aging is inevitable and it comes with a lot of downsides, particularly physical.
It limits a person from doing strenuous activities simply because the body can no longer keep up with what the mind wants.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Common conditions in older age include hearing loss, cataracts and refractive errors, back and neck pain and osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, depression and dementia. As people age, they are more likely to experience several conditions at the same time.”
But aging can actually have a lot of perks, depending on one’s perspective.
While we all know the “joys” of getting older in terms of how the body begins to slow down, sadly, our culture doesn’t seem to focus much on the upside of aging.
Well, these ladies are changing people outlook on one aspect of aging in epic fashion.
Don’t we always say “Age is just a number?”
Time and time again, we see old people breaking the norm and proving that life doesn’t start at 40 – it starts every day!
Why don’t you look at these lovely ladies on stage?
In a funny YouTube video uploaded in 2009, a group of elderly women took the word “entertainment” to a different level.
Dressed in colorful assorted costumes and headdresses, ten talented ladies took centerstage and gave everyone an unforgettable show.
With their colorful costumes and sassy moves, they won the hearts of both the live audience and those who saw the video of their funny performance.
If tap dancing with walkers doesn’t impress you, then I don’t know what will.
You better start moving and grooving before those bones go cracking.
These ladies sure knew a thing or two about choosing the right track for their tap dance routine.
There’s no better way to spice things up than tap dancing to Shania Twain’s ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman.’
They started getting sassy with their moves, leading the crowd to go crazy.
Incorporating walkers with tap dancing is not an easy task to pull off, but these ladies sure were on fire!
By the looks of it, there’s no doubt they were legitimate entertainers during their younger years.
From a tap dance routine to a comedy show.
There’s not a single dull moment to be had in their routine, from start to finish.
The talented women didn’t let age get the best of them but used it to their advantage instead.
They inserted some funny stints in between their routine by acting tired, sleepy, and as if their backs were aching.
You won’t get a better and funnier performance than this.
They also tap danced to the late 70s hit by Donna Summer, ‘Hot Stuff’, and ‘I’m Too Sexy’ by the British pop band Right Said Fred.
The tap dance routine ended with a bang when all ten elderly dancers rode on their walkers while striking their final poses.
What a way to end such an entertaining number!
Online viewers had nothing but words of praise for these fantastic dancers.
“This is very clever, well performed, and is a real motivator!”, one YouTube user commented.
Another one wrote, “I’m almost 60 and have to go to work. If you woke up like I did, get those bones moving… “You Go Girls!” (Keith in Boston)”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!”, wrote another entertained viewer.
