Only the fluorescent hi-tops and Converse sneakers give them away. Otherwise, they're a bunch of normal retirees buttering scones and arranging tea cups in a chilly Waiheke Island hall on a Sunday afternoon.
Then a loud beat drops. Everyone moves into formation and my understanding of old school hip-hop is changed forever. They're locking, popping, throwing shapes, and roaring. Even when you know it's coming it's still one of the most bizarre, improbable and joyful sights you will ever see.
Until the music stops and the tirade starts: "No, no, no ... you're not fragile bloody old ladies, you're strong ... now do it again." This is their leader, Billie Jordan, dealing out the tough love. "Quick, quick, quick, I don't care if you're the worst hip-hop crew in the world, you're still dancers, you're supposed to be able to run. Go ... " And they run. Even 95-year-old Maynie Thompson.

Osteoporosis dance?
Golden Oldies sounds like some obscure porn website
Well, when you're 65+, you have had buttloads of time to build up street cred.
I saw a documentary some years back about a group that did something like this. They would tour and stuff. It pretty much gave the old folks something to do that they enjoyed, as well as resulting in friendships. Something that's important since a lot of them had seen their siblings/friends die.
It was pretty sad when a few of the members of the group died due to health/age.
The Goldie lookin chain
