[Reporter Luo Xinzhen/Pingtung Report] A group of Pingtung grandmothers with a combined age of over 660 years old formed the "Silver crew Chaoyin Dance Troupe" in August last year (2022). After six months of special training, this Sunday ( April 30) will go north to participate in the National Taiwan University Cup Hot Dance Contest. They are the oldest team among more than 50 participating teams. It is quite admirable to set foot on the stage to compete with young people.

"Silver crew Chaoyin Dance Troupe" has 9 members, who are from Wanhui Community in Wandan, Pingtung County, Dili Community in Fangliao Township, Yongda Community in Pingtung City, and Xingtan Community in Xinpi Township. For the past six months, members of Shining Street Dance Troupe have gathered for rehearsals every Monday and Friday afternoon by bus, carpool or bicycle.

The Social Affairs Department of Pingtung County Government stated that since Ping County firstly held the Silver Dance with Qingyin in 2020, it has been held for 3 consecutive years under the enthusiastic response. Hip-hop dance, I began to be interested in dance. This practice process is full of challenges, and the difficulty of dancing is even more difficult than in the past.

The oldest member of the dance troupe is 80-year-old Grandma Wu Jie. She said, "I believe I can do it!"; after practicing again and again, even going home and dreaming that she was practicing, "Dancing very happily, very A sense of accomplishment!"

The Social Affairs Department stated that the grandmas will go north with the silvery spirit of Pingtung. I hope that through this opportunity, everyone will know that dancing is regardless of age. Please look forward to it. There are a group of aggressive grandmas in Pingtung excellent dance skills.

The combined age of the 9 members is 660 years old.
