Aretha Franklin’s classic “Respect” sparked an epic and surprising dance battle. The two competitors refused to back down, seemingly having the time of their lives while showing their fancy footwork to the timeless tune. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see this unbelievable and joyous dance battle.

Getting exercise and simply getting up and moving around are essential for everyone. This becomes even more so as we age and begin to slow down. But, of course, muscles that aren’t used regularly will atrophy even faster, which is why doing something as simple as a walk around the block can be incredibly beneficial.

The point is to find something you enjoy doing that involves getting up, moving around and putting those muscles to work. If you enjoy doing it, exercise will feel less like a chore and more like something you’re genuinely excited about doing. It can literally be anything; just pick something and get active!

A clip posted on YouTube showed some older adults living in a retirement center enjoying classic tunes. However, a couple of them weren’t interested in simply sitting down and listening; they felt the need to get up and boogie, and why not?

The man and woman danced around, engaged in a highly competitive dance battle, and others sat around the room, taking in the show. Both showed that despite their advanced age, they were still pretty nimble on their feet, moving around the dance floor with relative ease and plenty of rhythm.

But they weren’t the only people out on the dance floor strutting their stuff. Near the short clip’s conclusion, two other individuals were also spotted on the floor, having a good time listening to Aretha’s beloved tune from 1967.

Typically, dance battles end with a winner and a loser selected. However, I’m not the right person to choose. Everyone on the dance floor showed they were much better on their feet and had more talent and coordination than I do!

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”
