Hip Hop granny busts a move

A woman in her 60s in Nanjing is trying to set up an elderly hip-hop dance troupe in the city, the Contemporary Express reported.

Guo has been passionate about dancing for many years. In 1995, while she was working in Shaanxi Province, Guo took out a provincial disco-dancing competition, beating many younger dancers.

When she saw a hip-hop competition on TV four years ago she was hooked and began practising every morning in local parks, prompting hundreds of people to join her.

Guo is looking for elderly people who are equally enthusiastic about hip-hop to join her in giving street performances.
