That grandma is absolutely slaying! I feel older than her rn.
Oh you are young. Your use of the term 'slaying' leaves no doubt about your age group 😅😅😅
@@ansar68pk Yeah she's probably like 10 or something. Go easy on her.
Asian granny to grandkids : when I was ur age I used to dance at faster than light pace,now I'm getting old ,So can only do this much.
@@ansar68pk so annoying nowadays with all my friends who are girls
same here😅
Here for the grandma. She is killing it !
I think its a guy
@@Redacted341 did you assume the gender?
@@Drannos99 yes i did
@@Redacted341 Lol
I'm 31 with knee and ankle problems. Crazy to see someone that age dancing like that lol
Cardio + fun with party people = Absolutely incredible results
Edit: What have my "cardio" comment summoned? 😂😂😂
But what the cost?
@@sycojems763 When the CCP decides they don't like these gatherings: Your Life 💀
@@haifutter4166 they are not white or white worshipper like you so don't worry about it😂😂
@@haifutter4166 *sigh* You’ve awakened them. Here comes to 20 cent army. 🙄
+ eating dog
I love this Chinese habit of dancing outside. All the world should adopt it! Jiayou, China!
This is "JumpStyle". It's from Europe. We had this yeeeeaaars before.
@@Markbenwisch This isn't about what dance you do,it's about the way they live.
@@Markbenwisch Not common in Europe. But it's common in China. Everywhere you can see people dancing or doing anything.
@@spider6660 I'm half-Chinese and I miss Chinese parks soooo much. The parks in Europe are so boring, the only things people do are jogging and sitting on the grass.
@@valerievankerckhove9325 agreed. Not to mention the safety factor in europe
Where did that grandma got the energy from?😱 she's amazing!
When I taught English in Shanghai, you would see so many old people at the park in the evening exercising in large groups. That's how they get the energy. They exercise every day.
Difficulty : Asian ;)
She saved it through her childhood and youth!
From her ancestors
She eats a lot of Chinese food
It's great to see they use their public spaces for physical activities.
So does most of the world. You are very naive.
@@AdamJensen_ not in USA. Here public spaces are mostly for kids and they're just boring. Adults here spends time on fast food and bars.
While in the US couch potatoes sun tanning.
@@AdamJensen_ you're the naive. I live in a third world country and we don't have this, maybe it can be the culture but i don't see people gathering to exercise in one place
You wouldn’t say that if you lived right where they are doing it third night in a row.
Then go an argue with a bunch of psyched up grandmas.
Just watching this made my mood better, imagine if we have some programme like this in our places.
I wish!!!
Just go dance on a square and people will join you, maybe, depends on where you're from.
Same ☺
Now I know the reason why they play fast pace music at club.(bcoz normal song are totally offbeats for them)
@@GodSavesEveryone cap
Just seeing older generations with that much health and energy makes me strive to be that healthy and happy when I'm older.
Woww their choreography,steps and energy is such terrific.Truly on the next level.
She probably had dog for breakfast
🤣🤣
they call it a shuffle dance, its an old dance not new

That slightly chunky guy should lead the groups also. He hits those moves hard ! Lol ✅✅
Dude makes eveyone else look like they're living in slow motion
The grandmother is filmed everywhere Actually so is the whole group….. Hope more people will join this dancing too as described in the headline It is great for health 👍
I think she’s the leader…i read it somewhere
Cardio, plus balance plus coordination. Perfect exercise.
I feel like dancing jumpstyle again when I see this, what an energy they have !💕
People should start dancing at early age. It helps you feel young and optimistic. You can close your room, play music and dance
My inddia is called the p0vertty capital 0f the w0rld
True, I can say that dancing really helps myself from mind and physical
just exercise-
@@pIaxondry dancing is an exercise
Can't dance if you're overweight
I love the wholesomeness. Absolutely off the charts.
Imagine how energetic I would be if I did this everyday 😭
This reminds me to the chinese Elementary teacher who went viral years ago.
Oh yeah I think Chinese love dancing very much, when I was there, I see people dance / sing everywhere on the open spaces like that
@@Joooo89 I think so too. Even the elders are dancing happily.
I just love the whole culture, loving life at its finest
Square dancing is American not Chinese
Dance for 1.5 hour, great cardio workout. Great trend.🔥🔥🔥
This is some sort of JumpStyle. We had this in Europe years before as techno movement on the streets. You can find a video of Scooter with this dance style.
Greetings from Germany.

I love this so much. This is how a community comes together. I have yet to see something like this in America. We put a price on everything lol if that was here , you would probably have to pay to join
I don’t think you’d have to pay to join but you’d have to pay for having an “event” in a public area lol
You can do it in America, but you will get noise complaints
You have to worry about getting robbed in the US. I think they used to have asian senior activities in the park but they probably stay home nowadays.
@@TAL142 yeah you'll get robbed if you go to the bad parts, like practically every other country on Earth.
@@sam8404 Well you pretty much have to stay home. Even that is not safe nowadays. They followed one guy home in Walnut Creek recently.
I am happy to see people entertained, dancing, and exercising together. 💃🕺
I would love to get my parents to do this. I don’t like clubbing or dancing in public, but man, it IS a great workout. Plus it stimulates and trains so many different parts of the brain. My rhythm is better, my balance is better, my coordination is like it’s never been in my life, my concentration is so focused (I swear my family has mild hereditary adhd), my self-esteem is through the roof… I’m like a whole different person.

Bruh I would give _anything_ to dance like that. It looks so much fun!
Such a powerful dance!!
such a powerful spam 😄
Keep fishing Ray Mak. A lot of dumb fishes out here. Enjoy your easy subs. Went up to 400k subscribers just from fishing the sea.
Mf u again 🤦🏽
That’s what happens to people when they eat dog
Awesome to see the young & old dancing, exercising and having fun 🤩
That is wonderful! I am very happy for that grandmother! Yes queen!
Wow, very intense dancing 😳 😂 Kudos to the grandma 👵 for keeping up with the younger folks!

If you are reading this. Know that everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear❤️
Is that located anywhere near the Other Side of Midnight?
I wouldnt have time to swim back up.. then ill drown

@@TheBuriedLedeR hahaha =)
This is the first time a comment like this has rung true. I"ll be thinking about this for a while now.
I gotta go to China one day. This place looks great
MC Hammer too legit to quit ?? czcams.com/video/wiyYozeOoKs/video.html
even the elderly woman is a better dancer than me.
There is NOTHING better than fun + fitness. Keep at it!!
Its addictive Nostalgia 😍😍
They probably burning off the calories from the cats and dogs they ate
Yo that granny got moves 😤
Grandma dripping with those moves 🥶🥶🥶
The Grandma used to be a dancing queen..😁 🔊🎶💃🏆💐👑
This reminded me of the high intensity aerobics of the late 90s to 2000 which l did at the gym. But this looks more fun because its outdoor n spacious with fresh air, old n young could participate. Community participation is a wonderful feeling.
One advice to share with these high intensity aerobics dance exercises, the knees n ankles will be damaged if the hamstrings n quads muscles are not stretched n strengthened. The tibia bone/muscles will be injured if too much stomping. Go easy!

We should do this in our country also. They make me wanna dance !

0:47 This grandmother is the 'leader' of the group
Me: wait what?!
Most energetic grandma I've ever seen.
I learned square dancing back in 7th grade and I remember no one was into it so it looks so much like a zombie dance 😆 this version looks fun. Now I want to learn it again.
MC Hammer too legit to quit ?? czcams.com/video/wiyYozeOoKs/video.html
Nice to see people coming together ❤️
Chinese granny with a Afro ! Have to love it ! Lol 💥
They're playing Dance Dance Revolution, they just didn't have enough arcade cabinets for everyone to play.
The grandma can definitely dance! I'm impressed
Remind me of the 90s when dancing and activities were the thing
MC Hammer too legit to quit ?? czcams.com/video/wiyYozeOoKs/video.html
I want to see the father dancing with his daughters and granddaughters ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Okay, Grandma is killing it on the dance floor!
Grandma during daytime: i sleep
Grandma at night:
So just shuffling and square dance.
This is just jumpstyle that was popular along with Melbourne shuffle back in like 2013

Oh my! what a dance! i bet grandma feel young again.
Grandma a whole Vibe, maybe 1 day I can join her in the dance lol, looks mad fun!
get them a giant trampoline, imagine how much fun that would be
내가 제일 부러워하는 중국문화 중 하나.
You have fun, exercise, enjoy time with people, and most important of all, you'll be hitting 100% in Dance Dance Revolution.
Grandma you give us hope👏👏👏😌😌 absolutely powerful 😃😃😃💯💪💪💪👏👏👏
It's like invicible Dance Dance Revolution.
Exactly. Nothing original about it.
bruh the old lady at the start of the video got more moves than me pain
the downstairs neighbors must LOVE them...
So nice to see a fresh new take on a classic dance!!♡♡♡

Looks like fun, we need to incorporate that type of dancing here in the USA
Nah, it won't happen because US has no freedom. US has guns. You'd be gunned down. 😂😂😂
@@cb250nighthawk3 yep, looks like the perfect place to gunned down
Looks like jumpstyle with some shuffle ;D you see these type of dances a lot at EDM / Tech festivals
Hahaha!!! Public coordinated jumpstyle.
There's Dutch, and Germans nursing semis watching this 😂
Go on China!
That grandma will live another extra x3 of her life because of this
👍👍👍 been doing this in the hills for 100 years. They even make there own music
This is jump style not square dancing.
When someone use the phrase 'My grandma can dance better than you!'
They are the same people in every shot, but in different locations. That's a Flash Mob!!
Hrs of Dance Dance Revolution paying off
THIS IS THE THING WE NEED TO GO VIRAL

There's many invisible cockroach on the floor perhaps.
Not the square dancing I was thinking of first… this is “line dancing” vs Modern Western Square Dancing. Still quite awesome to watch.
Everyone’s having a fun time dancing that’s great
This isn't taking square dancing to the next level. It's something entirely different.
These should be voluntary community events in every country, it would help with your nations fight obesity, improve fitness and foster community cohesion.
Well, voluntary community events and China are 2 opposite concepts
They’re really stomping that ground. Looks fun
you should open up with "This grandmother is the leader of the group!" lols
This needs to spread to Africa, them we'll see the sh$t. They will take it to level 2.0. Well done guys. It's simply nothing less than heart popping.
That’s racist
To tell you the truth, this is nothing compared to african dance, they dance with faster pace and more difficult rithym
@@marseille1196 wait how
Heart popping?
No, dancing is healthy to us...I am not saying that we must dance 24/7
Lol this dancing style was African for centuries
You have made the leader proud, infinite social credit to everyone!!!
wow, im surprised you still believe that crap....I thought you were a thinking creature
Better than living in diabetes.
Man some of them are really into it and looks like they are having fun.
That grandma has amazing feet and knees. Strong heart too.
Queen Elizabeth tried this dance and now her immortality for 500 billion years has ran out.
Such a bore
bro what
Cringe
Cringe like your existence
Everybody's gangsta until grandma starts square dancing, lol ...
The granny giving it socks is brilliant ☺️
Pure joy! Love seeing there faces.
They are getting jiggy with it
Being old in China is so much more fun and healthier
Great energy, great exercise, love the positivity
Waoooo Amazing tradition. I hope everyone gets to dance in China.
I want to see Wu Lei dancing!
looks like a crazier form of what's called line dancing in north America! pretty awesome!
this reminds me of that one video of a random dude dancing all alone in open grass at a concert and then gradually more and more people join in.
Bring back the memory. Those dance really popular back I was young

I just wanna have grandma energy
Out with the Tai Chi and In with the Square Dancing
This is so heartwarming
They turned square dance into jump style. Let’s gooooo!!! 🔥🔥🔥

ENERGIZING 😍 I LOVE It!! 🌺
Both my ankles and knees have shattered just from watching this video.
That's some 90s MC Hammer 2Legit2Quit moves there! Nice! 👏😎
The grandma is this old and she can still move like that, holy thats amazing
It looks like a great line dancing workout!
