It’s no wonder that these grandparents were able to aim some dance moves during the quarantine.

Based on the clip shared on YouTube, we can see Clive Gordes and his wife, Fay relieving their quarantine boredom by dancing to Dwight Yoakam’s These Arms.

Their moves are well-coordinated. Plus, you can clearly tell that they spent a good amount of time to coordinate their moves.

But, what really stood out the most from the video were their laughs and smiles!

You can clearly see they were having a good time!

Clive first started pressing the remote for the music and when the music began, he and Fay energetically moved their hands and feet to start the dance.

With the first lyrics of the song, they began to move from left to right by crossing their foot over the other.

Then they moved forward by crossing and hopping on each foot. Each movement and step was accurate to the beat of the music.

It was truly amusing and inspiring to watch them with their square dancing!

The song These Arms performed by Dwight Yoakam was a perfect song to get everyone to jump up from their seat and get lost to the beat of the music.

Dwight David Yoakam is a singer-songwriter born in Pikeville, Kentucky. Rising to prominence in the 1980s, he proved to the world that he’s more than just a guy with a hat and a guitar. He has recorded more than 20 albums and sold more than 30 million records.

You can really tell he was good.

But, this didn’t stop Nashville from thinking Yoakam wasn’t marketable enough in their pop-oriented urban cowboy setting since he played traditional country music.

And boy they were wrong not signing him up.

You could probably think that maybe he should have moved to pop-country music than his traditional country music. Instead, he used these rejections to play around with his music but still keeping in touch with his roots.

He eventually decided to move to LA where he can be able to find a better audience for his music. Playing in bars where punk rockers, country fans, and rockabilly fans were, he was able to gain an eclectic fan base.

Based on AllMusic:

“His core audience was composed mainly of roots rock and rock & roll fans, not the mainstream country audience. Nevertheless, he was frequently able to chart in the country Top Ten, and he remained one of the most respected and adventurous recording country artists well into the ’90s.”

Due to his stripped-down and clear revivalism of country music, he was able to get a huge following and opened the doors for record labels to notice him.

We can only imagine that these two grandparents may be cowpunk as well. Or they just really have a good taste for music.
