In China, you’ll find grandmas dancing in public parks everywhere. They usually dance in sync in big groups. But this grandma moves to her own rhythm.<br /><br />Every day, Zhang Dongdong brings her own speaker to the park and dances to hip-hop, R&B, and disco—while dressed in leopard print and a colorful scarf.<br /><br />Zhang was inspired to freestyle after going to a Celine Dion concert in the United States. <br /><br />Impressed by the spectacle of so many male dancers on stage, she decided to start her own group of freestyle dancing grannies in China.<br /><br />If you liked this story, we have more videos about Chinese people adapting Western music in their home country, including:<br /><br />Coco Zhao, the Queen of Shanghai Jazz<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=952JbCK_4lo<br /><br />Kawa, the Bob Marley of China<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu2J4AeNpak<br /><br /><br />**FOLLOW US ON IG, TWITTER, AND FACEBOOK:<br />http://instagram.com/goldthread2<br />http://twitter.com/goldthread2<br />http://facebook.com/goldthread2<br /><br />Producer: Christine Schindler<br />Videographer: Christine Schindler<br />Editor: Hanley Chu<br />Mastering: Victor Peña<br /><br />Music: Audio Network<br />
