The video captured Alexis’ eight-year-old daughter, Alaria, dancing in the family living room to Fifth Harmony’s *I’m Worth It.
As her grandmother was enjoying the dance, someone suggested her to “do her thang,” to which her grandmother very energetically replied, “You want me to do my thang?”
Alexis’ grandmother didn’t wait for an affirmative answer; she had already begun shrugging her shoulder to the beat.
Alaria was thrilled to see her great-grandmother’s moves. The show got the family emotional, as she had it in her even after so many years.
The whole family was cheering her and her moves, in response she gives her hip a big shake. Though she uses a cane to balance, she was very steady on her feet during her steps.
Alexis’ video was a big hit and went viral on YouTube where the video had over 1.7 million views, while the number was more than three million on Facebook. Everyone agreed that it was one ‘groovy granny!’
One user on Facebook wrote, ‘What a blessing!! I want to get her age and still be able to dance.” Another user commented that the video made him happy and that ‘she is blessed, shows you how good God is.’
