Video: Senior Citizen Flash Mob at the County Fair

by ARLnow.com | August 10, 2012 at 6:36 pm | 3,372 views | 30 Comments

A large group of senior citizens, organized by the Arlington Department of Parks and Recreation’s Office of Senior Adult Programs, participated in a “flash mob” at the Arlington County Fair this afternoon.

The seniors — who were later joined by fair-goers during a reprise — performed a choreographed dance to the Black Eyed Peas song “I Gotta Feeling.”

A video of the performance, and an interview with dance leader, choreographer and Ms. Senior Virginia 2012 Kathy Fanelli, is below.

    Way to go, Seniors. That the rising seniors (children and grandchildren) can do as well when the inevitable passage of time makes them seniors.

  • dallynd

    Well, flash not so much but let me please be moving that well and wanting to do so as a senior. Love it.

    On the plus side, those seniors are lookin’ good. On the down side, flash mobery jumped the shark in 2009. Next up, senior pole dancing ? Seriously though, you go girl.

    • Skeptical

      Runner friend of mine, 60 this year, pole dances for recreation. So does a seminary student I know who’s approaching 50. They both look pretty awesome. Nothing flapping anywhere. You need to watch out for those old women.

      Wait, senior citizens doing a dance that’s out of fashion?

  • Ill.I.Am

    No bingo wings on Ms. Senior Va!

    • Zelora

      Ummmm…..good thing the camera was far away. Maybe they were just flapping too fast for you to see.
      I am whereof I speak….

  • bobco85

    Other areas’ senior citizens just sit on rocking chairs, but ours do flash mobs! Go Grannies and Grampies!

  • Mary-Austin

    Easily better than your average Clarendon skank.

    • skank3rs

      I prefer Shirlington skank.

  • Arlutingfacts

    TONIGHT WE ARE YOUNG….OH WAIT….

  • Elmer

    I don’t dare make a wisecrack. Why? My wife was a dancer in the flash mob and throughly enjoyed it!

    • drax

      We’re all shocked to learn that you’re a senior citizen, Elmer.

      • Elmer

        And we’re not shocked to see yet again that Good ol’ Drax is back with the ever snide remark to an upbeat comment.

  • Brian

    I’ll have a broken pelvis with my corn dog please #countyfairproblems

  • Sam

    That’s fantastic. Great job everyone!

  • Carmen

    Cool! They did a great job and looked like they were having fun.

  • Barbara

    Great job Arlington seniors!

  • Jake

    Not really a flash mob if the announcer announces it in front of a crowd like that. Not at all what I was expecting to see given the title.

  • Miss Priss

    At least no one described it as a hot flash mob!

    Nice shots of Miss Candice lensing the event.

  • Marlo

    COUGARS!

  • Marlo

    GILFs

  • Melissa

    OMG lmao at these comments; loved the “mob” too
