Are you looking for some wholesome content in today’s bleak world? Then you have come to the right place. What is sweeter than two generations coming together for some good ol’ fun?
Nothing really, based on the video below.
10-year-old Maeve needed a dance partner to dance with her at her summer recital.
More specifically, she needed a tap dancing partner.
Of everyone she could have asked, Maeve decided to ask her 72-year-old grandfather, Bill Jones. Understandably, Bill could have declined. Tap dancing requires a good amount of energy, which could be especially tiring on an older body.
But to the delight of Maeve, Bill was more than happy to help his granddaughter. Together, the two put on quite a show.
If anyone tells you older generations and younger generations have nothing in common, just show them this video.
To master their routine, Maeve and her grandpa practiced one hour a week for six weeks at her dance school, From the Top Dance Center in Reading, Massachusetts.
Bill took it just as seriously as his granddaughter, and their hard work certainly paid off.
The pair tapped, slid, held up jazz hands and more, all for a very entertaining two minutes.
The announcer described them as “fifth generation dance lovers”, and it shows.
“My mom says my grandfather loves to dance,” Maeve shared, “and I asked him if he wanted to do a tap duel with me, and we did it. And it’s amazing.”
The pair danced to the tune of Anna Kendrick’s “When I’m Gone” cover from the film Pitch Perfect. Bill smoothly kept up with Maeve every step of the way.
And not one to be undone, when Maeve performed a cartwheel at the end, Bill swiftly followed with a cartwheel of his own!
In the end, the two created an adorable video for them to look back on for years to come.
The internet loved their routine as well, with the video having 8.6 million views!
Who knows, maybe we will see Maeve and her grandpa Bill on America’s Got Talent in the future? They certainly have an audience who would support them!
