From the time we’re born, we have something in us that just makes us want to dance.
Call it human nature, but there’s an innate sense of rhythm in all of us. Obviously, some of us are better at it than others if reality TV is anything to go by, but I’m not yet talking about skill.
What I’m talking about, is the instinct and drive to move our bodies.
The thing about that instinct, is that it doesn’t always go away.
Although styles of dance change rapidly through the decades, some of us, even into old age remain movers and shakers. Oftentimes, you don’t find these things out until your aunty’s wedding, when you see your granny tearing it up on the dance floor.
Thanks to the internet however, we can see examples of the elderly getting jiggy with it just like anyone else!
Take for instance this 70-year-old fella, who has some seriously impressive swagger. As part of a hip hop dance class, he takes to the dance floor in order to show the world what he’s got!
The class is dancing to a fun modern R&B/Soul song by artist Jill Scott.
It’s a fun, upbeat song called “So In Love”, and it’s just the kind of song that will make you want to get up out of your seat and jive on down. It features another artist by the name of Anthony Hamilton, and together they make one heck of a fun song.
So when this dapper gent gets his hands on it, it gives him life!
I’m just going to say this right now; this guy has better moves than I do. With him it’s not just about the actual moves though, but how much style he has. I have never seen a fella over the age of 50 with that much hip-gyration, let alone 70!
In fact, the rest of the class can hardly keep up with him!
Oh they may try, but when this guy is in the room, you’d best be aware that this disco already has its John Travolta.
But he’s not ONLY good at disco styles.
No sir, far from it! True to the nature of this hip hop class, he leads the charge with some pretty impressive moves. I don’t know about you, but I would not want to square up with this guy in a dance battle.
His rhythm is incredible, and he has immaculate timing.
But what’s more than that, is that you can see that he’s having the time of his life out there on the dance floor.
Many comments in the thread show just how impressed everybody is by his dancing:
