Typically known for their aggressive attitudes towards music and physical fitness, some of China’s dancing aunties are now receiving praise online for trying to be considerate and quiet.


At a public square in the megacity of Chongqing, you’ll find a group of older women swaying and grooving together in time in complete silence thanks to the magic of earbuds.

The director of the group says that they decided to adopt this practice in order to stop disturbing residents and commuters, adding that it also helps them to focus on their moves.


On Chinese social media, netizens have called for this strategy to be adopted by dancing aunties nationwide. In the past, residents fed up with the blaring, monotonous music that often accompanies the outdoor dance sessions have tried to deal with the problem by installing sound-directing speakers, locking them out, throwing feces at them, and, when all else failed, just shooting them.
