Bless Her Heart: Grandma Out-Wobble Younger Ladies on the Dance Floor

By A Moore | Published on July 7, 2013

As people age, they usually cut down on their activity level because the body just doesn’t feel the way it used to. For many of the elderly, running, jumping, and dancing can make them uncomfortably aware of their knees and other wobbly joints. Therefore, these activities and others, such as the the ‘Wobble’ line dance are typically out of the question for many of our elders.

However, the video above shows an old lady’s ‘can’t stop, won’t stop’ spirit refusing to allow a few achy bones to prevent her from getting her groove on. Who’s to say she feels any pain anyway? She certainly doesn’t dance like it. While the younger ladies on the dance floor try to keep up, Granny ‘wobbles’ like an old pro.

Watch “Grandma Wobble” in action in the video above.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
