Watch These Older Dancers Get Down
by Rachel Rizzuto
April 6, 2016


Somehow, I didn’t know this was a thing: The Milwaukee Bucks (an NBA team) have a dance team comprised solely of dancers ages 58 to 75. The majority of them are seniors. And…they’re fantastic.

Don’t take my word for it—watch them lean and dab below. Or watch them whip and nae nae here.

 

Don’t miss a single issue of Dance Teacher.
