Show me what you’ve got

Don’t be surprised if, at the next Nets game, you see your grandma (or friend’s grandma) “shakin’ her thang” to hip-hop music during halftime.

According to the New York magazine article, “Big Pimpin’ Grandmas”, tryouts were held last week by the Nets’ director of entertainment for a senior dance team —a concept born of the fact that the crowd at the games would go “nuts” whenever “a senior citizen starts doing hip-hop moves.”

The four young ladies portrayed are sensational (we can only hope to be as fit, nimble and healthy looking as they are when we reach that age). Their ages: 82, 71, 61, and 80. If you read the description for each--- they are all active, they love to dance, they’re savvy, and it seems, hip-hop is not their favorite music (we can’t blame them).

Who says hip-hop is just for the young’uns? Who says only young people can “strut their stuff”?

These ladies surely prove it's for everyone!
