GMA met the ‘Stayin’ Alive’ dance crew. One thing they all have in common-- they’re all over the age of 50.

Founded in 2018, the dance crew specializes in highly energetic dance performances and as party enhancers getting crowds on their feet dancing.

You may have seen them perform at Hawks games or other events in the community. They started with only 12 dancers and now they have 60 members.

The group’s mission is to inspire others to keep active all while making Georgia proud on the dance floor.
