Is samba-dancing the exclusive preserve of young people? Clearly not! A group of retired senior citizens, in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, treated people to a two-hour excellent samba dance performance on Monday. "My real life started at the moment I retired." Mrs. Wang said. She told Zhejiang Online that she has now learnt samba for eight years, following her retirement. "I have seen so many young girls excitedly learning samba. However, I saw their passion for the dance gradually fade within a few months, because most of them are too busy with work."

Like Mrs. Wang, more and more retired women have found their interest in samba. For them, samba is not only a way to relax, but also a way to make people younger.
