Hey, Grannies Can Get Hip Too…YO!

And I thought older people didn’t understand hip-hop. Hip-Hop Grannies, a dance group specializing in hip-hop dancing, proves me wrong!

Wu Ying is in her 70s and is the founder of the group. What made her want to start hip-hop dancing? According to Wu, she was influenced after watching a dance competition and was captivated by the looks and moves. Something she never seen before, she thought it would be great exercise and many agree with her…one of her crew members saying “It brings energy out of the elderly!”



And for those saying they’re a novelty…think again! These hip ladies have made many appearances on TV and even entered and won a couple competitions! They’ve got a huge following as well, drawing at least 1,000 women wishing to join the crew. All this is no surprise though, I mean comon, 50-70 year old women busting some moves…how cool is that!
