Yo, Grandma’s Hip! (And No, We’re Not Talking About Osteoperosis)

October 5, 2008     Posted in Cool Stuff, Video

You know the setting: you’re at a dance, you and your friends are bopping along to the music with your well-intentioned renditions of the sprinkler (it’s okay- I’m totally that person, too).

Well, I just found a video that is the ultimate in one-upmanship when it comes to hot dance moves. A group of elderly women in China decided to form a hip-hop dance troupe for fun and for exercise. The Hip-Hop Grannies rock G-Unit tees and bandanas, and a third-place finish in the national Chinese hip-hop dance competition qualifier rocketed them to fame. Since their development in 2003, the Hip-Hop Grannies have shared the joy of dance, healthy living, and social activity with many senior ladies. Not to mention they’re good at it, too!

I hope I’m just as cool when I’m 65.

(Editor’s Note: I’m not this cool now.)

    Lol, yeah you’re kinda late, they were featuring them a lot during the Olympics.

    I wouldn’t say that they’re good, but they are pretty healthy and fit for their ages.

    I remember them saying that one of them was like 93..crazy.

    Wow, they're old and still dancing like that? My 56 year old mom can barely walk up 3 flights stairs…

    See this is exactly why the Chinese will be taking over the world one day.

Tell us what you're thinking...
