For The Love Of Thumkas: These Dancing Daadis Of Instagram Are Slamming Ageism Gracefully

It's been said, and with good reason, that you should dance as though no one is looking. Why be shy when you can dance, regardless of your age? We believe this because dance is something that everyone, regardless of age, appreciates, whether it's watching it for enjoyment or shaking their legs to their favourite tune.

If you still haven't seen old women dancing on your Instagram feed, you could be living in a bubble.

These dancing daadis dance their hearts out without worrying about who is looking at them,  breaking all odds to establish that age is just a number. Every year on April 29th, World Dance Day, also known as International Dance Day, is observed, and to celebrate this day, here we have some dancing daadis who dance no less than divas and look pretty hot with all that confidence.

Elderly Chandigarh resident Neeru Saini is living proof that "age is just a number" in her case.

At 63 years old, Ravi Bala Sharma is as vibrant and youthful as any other young adult would be. She is competitive with others half her age or younger to create the best reels and attract thousands of viewers, or, should we say, views, despite having knee problems. She is ardent and enthusiastic. On her dancing page, she frequently publishes popular dancing videos. Additionally, she has a verified account.

These amazing women are in their late 50s to early 70s, yet based on how gorgeous they are, it doesn't appear like age is an issue. Women in this age range, possess a depth, grace, and confidence that only age and experience can offer. They provide solid evidence that ageing is a state of mind.

This wasn't seen as acceptable not so long ago. It goes without saying that people adore these dancing daadis videos and are not hesitant to express their affection for them. But along with a lot of love on social media, there can also be some hate, criticism, and trolling. But they continue to pursue the things they are passionate about, which encourages younger women to defy social norms and triumph over those who uphold these absurd stereotypes.
