Senior Citizens Dance to Pharrell Williams Happy Song Choreographed by: Davina Ware

[@rosemartinez6500]

I love this. This is what senior citizens needed in senior communities. I love the senior sitting in the wheelchair. He moving big time. Got to love our seniors.

[@nicolabarney7018]

Yes the Gentleman in the middle caught my eye too ❤so cute

[@TopoGigio555]

Yes, I noticed him too! He was having a great time😁😁

[@MsBellasworld]

He didn’t miss one beat, his joy brought me joy!

[@writer2003]

I PRAY Pharrell Williams sees this!!!!

[@vickilrogers5232]

❤❤❤

[@katrinat.3032]

That would be great!!

[@kellybrus8663]

He'd absolutely love it!!

[@gabrielladelacroix2179]

Look at everyone enjoying the music! How beautiful! God bless all the people in this video!!! Music always bring people together and this song is perfect for all!!

[@columbusphotographer]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It seems like a lot of people are finding this video all of a sudden. What Drew you to it?

[@sparra3819]

@@columbusphotographer As for myself, this video just popped up in my feed. If I can attribute a reason, I had viewed a dance class video, for 40 and 50 year olds, earlier in my day. It is fun to see an older video making new rounds : )

[@sonyacreel6600]

​@@columbusphotographer Hey that's an awesome question ❓ What drew me to this video. The video showed up in my feed and I HAD to watch. A bit ago I assisted with patient care. Many of my residents became family-ish and I miss them. This video is right up my alley with Pharrell's song "I'm Happy". His song has taken on A life of its own. This video is wholesome and wonderful to watch and I'm going to share it with others. Please don't let this video be just A one AnD done. This happiness is SO contagious 🎉

[@columbusphotographer]

Thanks

[@triciac1019]

Those seniors dancing, how cool! That man in the wheelchair looks like he would be such fun! I love all of this.

[@ks77728]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful things to see ❤. My 96 yr old mom is in a nursing home so this made me smile with tears running down my face. 🥰

[@ramonaschuler4134]

The man in the wheelchair is AWESOME!!❤❤ This made my day 😊😊

[@sonyacreel6600]

​@@ramonaschuler4134 It has made mine as well ❤

[@portiamatthews9654]

What a great way to start my day seeing the people laughing and dancing. The lady in red seated next to the gentleman in the wheelchair had the routine down pact.

[@Judith-gp7ik]

My mom lived in a wonderful facility like this. Seniors may be up in age but music brings out the youth.❤️❤️

[@paulettegautreau9270]

Congratulations to the staff!!! Hats off to you. I know that activity brightened everyone's mood and day. 😊

[@lisacarmack6113]

Seeing this makes me feel like there is hope for happiness and humanity :)

[@rosalievanwicklen3862]

That dance for seniors was very refreshing....

[@MarieEmory]

That just makes my day, with all the seniors clapping together

[@moniquest.olouis4702]

This made me cry happy tears. My late mom had Alzheimer and she loved music and often I would play her favorite songs so when I saw this it brought back all of those memories. Love this wish they did this in all longterm care facilities. Love from Canada ❤

[@graphicallydeb9897]

My Granny would wheelchair down to Sunday brunch, wave her hands and tap her toes. She didn’t know who she was.. or recognize her family, but loved her Sunday music.

[@helenworrall8273]

My mum too. ❤️

[@Josie-k4i]

Amen Sister!

[@lucycreekmore5360]

This is such a great song to get you going. I have this as my ringtone on my phone. Every time I get a call I just let it keep ringing and ringing. It’s so great to see the staff entertaining the seniors. I am 85 years old and thank God I’m still in a home of my own. God has been very good to me. May God bless all the seniors in this center.

[@Anonomo-d3d]

Okay, if that video doesn't bring a smile to your face, nothing will! Love, love and love some more!❤

[@karengarrow5579]

This song is universally loved by young and old when you hear it you can’t help singing and dancing I don’t think Pharrel realised when he wrote this song what an impact it would have when people heard it

[@ajfaithful7012]

That's the kind of place you want a relative or even yourself to be in. The man in the electric chair was getting his groove on!!!

[@ramonaschuler4134]

Didn't he though!!😊😊

[@GrannyLovesSquares]

Papa in the wheelchair is giving them the business! Get it, Sir!! 🕺

[@rosieposie6521]

This old English woman thought that was absolutely wonderful, it brought tears to my eyes. I wish more younger people could see this and realise that just because you're older it doesn't mean you can't.........🤗🥰💞🇬🇧

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

In this world today we need to be reminded to be happy. This is perfect. Thank you for your loving work to these seniors 💜

[@joycemiraglia280]

Hello...this brings me to tears cause when I was young I was a dancer. I took tap and dbl.tap, and ballet lessons from 4- 18 years old and I loved every stage of the popular dances. I even had my picture in the ROTO section of our Akron Beacon Journal in 1962. But now at 78 and health issues I can only watch and move my upper body. I love Pharrell William's song Happy 🎶 even if I can't get up and dance. Thanks for sharing. Bye from Ohio🌹

[@cleliaparnell8743]

Move anything you can!!! Bet you're "movin" inside! Be healthy...😊

[@marydelcore2769]

And your heart is still dancing stronger than ever, God bless you 💋

[@lindaartz3297]

I am 77 this month and not in a care facility yet. I don’t move very well but this is the kind of thing that makes everyone feel happy. I am in the process of moving about a mile from my daughter from about 20 miles away. A neighbor was worried about me a week ago. I didn’t hear him knock, he called another neighbor who called my son, he called my daughter who txt me that she was leaving her house. My son drove 1000 miles and somewhere in this flurry of phone calls someone called the sheriff. All of this was going on and I didn’t know about it until the sheriff showed up at my house😂😂😂. I laughed but not because my kids were worried. Poor guys.

[@marydelcore2769]

Blessings to all of us..lol I am 80, and I'm blessed to say that I have been working at Walgreens for the last 17 years 🙏

[@marydelcore2769]

Please keep moving 🙏

[@monique6549]

This made ME happy!!!!

[@sherispraiselist966]

I sent this to my daughter, who is The Activities Director of a Senior Facility , where most of her residents are btw 80- 100 +, most with Alzheimers or Dementia.She always has them doing fun and active things.This made me smile so much.❤❤

[@renaerickman2577]

If only this was a everyday experience for them😂😂😂😂😂

[@annarchy665]

Nursing homes in my state and assisted living have all kinds of events and opportunities for fun. It's much different than what we saw in the 70's and 80's.

[@rhodachandler4277]

Big fan of chair dancing❤❤❤. The gentleman with blue shirt and bow tie is so dapper and he’s got the moves!

[@katrinat.3032]

This needs to be a movement in the United States! Every Saturday we go the old folks home and we dance with everybody and get HAPPY!!!

[@GenovevaVillaronga]

So heartwarming. I smiled the whole time. Especially loved the man in the wheelchair.

[@babsr8479]

I LOVED the gentleman in the wheelchair.😎😎😍😍🥰🥰

[@donnabailey929]

When I worked at a nursing home, we always did things like this for the residents. They loved it

[@sergiomckneil9412]

WoW!!! I've been the activity director in a senior facility for three years now and I've never have this much participation of the staff. That is dedication, commitment and care.

[@maggieking6619]

Joy still resides in a soul, no matter how old we are! I'm 71 and still dance. I dance alone, with my dogs or my daughter , just for the sheer JOY of life. And music brings me joy.

[@toib.7143]

This is sooooo doggone adorable. I was really expecting to see some seniors dancing, but ok I'll take seniors grooving to the music, just grateful they could do that.❤❤❤❤❤

[@janetsmith2870]

Why do people have to call older citizens adorable or cute. It is demeaning. I bet most younger ones don’t have thesenatural moves.

[@toib.7143]

@@janetsmith2870 Well. Ma'am I'm 76, God willing. I will be 77 this August. Guess what I think I am Adorable and Cute, God blesses me every day. I am still in my own home. No care givers in sight, considering that both our parents were already in senior centers at my age. My youngest brother still drives a big rig all across this country, not only is he also adorable and cute. But a chick magnet even if I do say so myself. Don't try to heap us seniors in some box created by your own imagination. We deserve better than that.

[@lee48lee68]

@@janetsmith2870-They’re adorable and cute, that’s why.

[@beckytaylor8041]

I love this!! And that precious man in the blue stripes in the middle was so happy!

[@TreasureDeal]

This is the best thing I've seen on the net for weeks! Smiling ear to ear with tears! So much joy!! Never mind one of my fave tunes because it is a happy song!

[@blueeyez044]

The world needs more beautiful awesome workers like you this is so beautiful to see God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️

[@kalayne6713]

Pharrell would love to see this. His music has brought happiness to many, changed lives. I love to see its our beautiful black sisters who get the party going.

[@sandradavis4551]

No matter what you’re doing, you gotta stop and give it up for this song. Even more today than ever, just a few minutes of HAPPINESS.😊😊😊😊

[@missgloriaingram1588]

That was 1000% beautiful. Beautiful. Awesome. THAT MADE EVERYONE'S DAY.

[@meredithheath5272]

GOOD for that Lady Staffer - she got everyone started!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathiegemmell7319]

Brings back GREAT memories. The staff in my building used to dance through the dining room on Fridays to this song. Different staff now but we're getting back to it....

[@Irisfcastellano]

Movement is the best medicine

[@leecaughill853]

One of my favorite songs. So nice to see it giving seniors a fun time.

[@CuriosityKitty-j5j]

Thank goodness it is modern music they're listening too for a change older people like all kinds of music from all eras not just old times 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️😊

[@StephanieSaunders-t2h]

That's what music will do for introverted senior citizens. I worked with seniors for over 40 years. Beautiful!

[@st7323]

That was nothing short of outstanding ❣️ Bless them all and those that are here commenting on this.. Thank You Father/ Lord Jesus 👑💜🩸🔥🌈🕊️

[@bridgetholbourne6849]

The guy in blue in the wheel chair for me ❤❤❤😂

[@goodmeasure777]

Love the enthusiasm of the employees and the residents looked like they enjoyed this as well. I remember at my facility, we had a dance, and the wife of a resident didn't want to dance, so he partnered with me, and he danced and danced and danced, and no one would cut in to relieve me LOL. Too bad "Happy" wasn't out then!

[@robinbutler7863]

This was AWESOME!! we need this in every senior citizen community, YES!! Let's bring joy to others. Loved it. what a blessing they are to all these precious people.

[@jennymujica1937]

This is so beautiful. It Mede me both happy and brought tears to my eyes and heart. So touching…..

[@dasgehtnicht5082]

I literally cried, watching this it reminds me of the time when my mom was in the nursing home. How wonderful to see everyone being so joyous dancing ❤

[@julieowen3856]

Kudos to you all for bringing such joy to our beautiful senior citizen population!!! What a blessing from God!!! ❤😊

Happy tears falling from my eyes... God bless their souls and the works of the care provider team 🙏🏿💕

Absolutely fabulous. Just because their bodies have slowed down doesn't mean their minds have. Thank you for bringing happiness and joy to these wonderful people.
