The Original Dancerize
The Chinese have to be the most fit people ever. They seem to be constantly in motion - stretching and bending and moving moving moving
Every evening, the people seem to hit the streets to just exercise. I am particularly amused by the ones walking backwards. Which we tried and is great for the calves
And then there is this cool fan dance, as seen here in the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing. Groups of mostly middle aged women, some in costume, many with fans I lusted after, would do this great little line dance
A band of brothers with traditional instruments would strike up and the dance would begin. And let me tell you, it exercises pretty much every joint we have.
I caused great delight by joining in, as it was really just a groovy line dance.
No wonder everyone looks so damn spry and the 80 year olds out pace me!
