In various cities of China, it is not uncommon to see groups dancing in the parks as a way to maintain a healthful lifestyle. It is a respected pastime and observers are usually very supportive of the participants. Several social media viewers commented on these videos discussing their experiences with the park dancing in China.
Dancing in the open parks of China has recently taken off even further in popularity. With an aging population and cost of senior centers and fitness centers, groups are gathering to dance as a way to maintain good health. Many of the younger generation are joining their grandparents and seeing the fun and usefulness of the groups!
Here are two clips of a Grandpa and a younger girl (perhaps his granddaughter) enjoying dancing in the park. The songs are very catchy. Like line-dancing the dance steps are repetitive and easy to pick up. Which makes this form of exercise even more desirable!
No matter what the reason for this talented duo, we are glad that the moment was shared with the rest of the world. It's inspiring to see multi-generational groups uniting in such a joyful way!
