70-year-old man joins dance class and ends up stealing the spotlight

There’s just something so electric about busting out some moves and showing our dancing skills, and it’s just a fact that rhythm is a part of human nature. Of course, there are people who have a much better sense of rhythm and coördination, but the good thing is that you can always improve your skills and learn new choreographies at dance classes.

One of the people who absolutely adores dancing lessons is this 70-year-old retired man, who has become somewhat of an internet sensation.

If there’s one thing that this talented man wants to prove, it’s that you simply can’t put an age on talent. It’s just a number, after all, isn’t it? And even though there are a lot of videos on the internet of funky grandmas busting out some moves on the street or at a wedding, this man actually managed to steal the show with his seriously impressive dance routine.

The man absolutely loves hip hop dance music and clearly isn’t afraid to show that to the rest of the world.

The track that they’re dancing on is called “So In Love”, performed by Jill Scott. It’s a catchy tune that has a fun and modern soul and R&B vibe to it, which really makes it perfect to practice some moves on. Artist Anthony Hamilton also collaborated in making the song – and while it’s not overly popular or anything, it’s definitely the kind of beat that will make you want to get out of your chair.
