Dancing and great music can sometimes bring people together. Even strangers can find a connection with each other because of amazing performances.
This elderly man from Spain was just passing by a busy street in Madrid when he came across a street performer singing Nina Simone’s “My Baby Just Cares For Me”. He was instantly smitten with the singer’s terrific vocals that he could not help but dance to the inviting music!
It was a spur of the moment decision for the senior citizen, who just had to groove to the beat. It was such an amazing sight that someone watching on the sidelines had to post it on his Twitter account.
He shared how he found such a delightful scene in the Grand Via in Madrid just a day before. He posted a video of the elderly man dancing while the street performer, DanDann, was singing.
The video was definitely adorable as the groovy senior danced and moved like he was really having fun. DanDann looked really amused with the wonderful man. In fact, she was so affected by his infectious joy that she decided to leave her microphone and joined him on his impromptu street dancing.
It was nothing short of splendid! Everyone watching was having fun as they watched the duo dancing together in the middle of the busy street. They may be strangers but they were certainly enjoy grooving with each other!
The tweet posted by Carlos Hugo Asperilla, a historical novel writer, has since reached more than 27,000 retweets and over 84,000 likes. It has garnered around 1.6 million views in Twitter and still counting!
The viral post has surely captivated a lot of people online and they just can’t watch the post without leaving beautiful praises for the adorable man and his dancing partner. The original posts in Spanish were nothing but heartwarming.
DanDann and the elderly man were totally in the zone and even held each other while dancing. They were practically strangers, but thru amazing music and hearts that see the simple yet amazing parts of life, these two showed how two people from different walks of life can share a moment of happiness that warmed a lot of hearts.
In the Europe, street performances also known as “busking” are popular and can be seen even in the midst of the busiest places. Normally, these are found in streets, train stations and even in the middle of town squares.
These performances have been around since the 1800’s. One of the noted evidences of this was through a portrait painted by Portuguese artist Jose Rodrigues entitled “O Pobre Rabequista”. The art work depicts a musician doing a performance in the streets.
This act of performing in the streets has been giving joy since the ancient times and until now, we still get joy out of watching and appreciating these amazing performances that are practically free! This man’s amazing dance with singer DanDann was only a reminder of how much fun we can have if we will only learn to just dance to the music that makes us happy, no matter what age and no matter where we are.
