Elderly Couple Performs Silly Swing Dance And Leaves Their Audience Roaring With Laughter

Not all cultures perceive dancing in a positive light; however, several groups and cultures around the world celebrate, praise, entertain, and rejoice via dancing. Thus, it’s pretty safe to say that for the most part, dancing is pretty universal in terms of why we usually do it.

Although dancing is something everyone of every age can enjoy, some stop dancing completely at a certain age. As people get older, they often get busier and have more responsibilities. Later down the road, most of us will experience some sort of health ailment that may prevent us from dancing the way we used to. However, for one elderly couple, they didn’t let their age stop them from partaking in a swing dance routine in front of an audience!

In a 2009 video filming the performance at the senior center, a lady announces that the original performers, Jim and Virginia, couldn’t make it to perform. “They chickened out!” someone yells. In replacement, the audience receives a whacky-dressed, elderly couple: Pete and Beulah Mae!

The silly couple starts their swing dance performance, and just seconds into the dance, they begin making not-so-discreet mistakes that make the audience laugh. Both Pete and Beulah Mae are looking pretty uncoordinated on the dance floor. Quite frankly, we aren’t sure if they know what they’re doing! They’re not exactly in-sync, can’t nail a simple twirl, and have contradicting choreography. But don’t worry; it’s all for kicks and giggles!

With a fake, large buffet and mismatched stockings, Beulah Mae, who’s really only 50-years-old, plays her part. Gray-haired, 70-year-old Pete with suspenders and the addition of a cane, also plays his part well while looking quite spiffy in the process.

One of the best parts of the performance is when Beulah Mae slips between Pete’s legs and accidentally “hits him where it hurts.” The reaction we get from Pete is priceless!

Later in the routine when Pete slides his wife between his legs once more, Beulah Mae’s dress lifts up, revealing her embarrassing bloomers while she’s bending back. “Stuck” in that position, Pete gives her a little kick to get her back on her feet.

The whole time, the audience is laughing. These two know how to put on a show! Although Pete and Beulah Mae can’t really not dance, their acting is spot-on, and their show was a great representation of the problems we sometimes face as we get older, from poor coordination to a bad back!
