British ‘grannies’ do bhangra in cute video

The two-minute-long clip sees the women shake their hips, and move their arms and legs about in a surprisingly coordinated effort. And if they seem more energetic than they look, well, wait for it, there’s a twist. The British grannies aren’t exactly what they seem.  

The women dancing are in fact actors in their 30s, 40s and 50s. They perform together for Fizzog Productions, a theatre company based in England. The group has been together for nearly two decades now. They met as students in college where they studied Community Theatre. 

The Dancing Grannies, described by the group as “Elderly ladies who like to get down and boogie wherever they please” are, it turns out, part of a popular ongoing routine.
