This morning on Today's China, hip-hop hits the mainland, dancing as all the // these days back home, thanks to those polular TV shows. But NBC's Mark Melinda discovered it's big here in China, too, a large due to a rather unusal group of dancers.
China's time- honored, martial art of Taiji,practiced by its elders, at least some of the time. It may seem //but this generational mass shop has turned a group of Chinese seniors into a cultural phenomena, they are called\" the hip-hop grannies.\"
This // of homegirls range an age from 45 to 74. It was founded by 70-year-old Wu Ying, yep,she's 70, she was inspired after catching a dance competition on TV.
I have never seen anything like that, I like the look the dancers had in their eyes, the way they moved, I thought this could be good exercise.
So she learned in the moves and started teaching at a gym class and the women noticed improvements in their health.
It brings energy out of the elderly, really, it feels really good.
The dancers were encouraged to wear both the attitude and the outfit.
I was a little conservative before but now I wear cool and trendy clothes.
Knock down with it, as they say was Wu's mortified daughter.
My daughter said, look at the baggy pants in the //, is it what mother should look like?
But Wu kept doubt it and the idea took off, attracting hundreds of wannabe old school hip-hopers then China's media.More the just//, these women developed into good dancers.
They've enen entered hip-hop dance competitions and won against competitors one quarter their age.
The grannies have also won props also known as admiration from tens of millions in China, now familiar with their regular TV appearances. And even Wu's daughter now admits // mum was wrong.
Meantime the founder of the hip-hop grannies says she's discovered another passion---becoming a rapper.
For today,// NBC News, Beijing.
And here they are, live on our very own set, Beijing's very own hip-hop grannies!
The hip-hop grannies everyone, thank you all, we have much more on Today's from Beijing right after this.
