The ageism around clubbing is unquestioned. A recent survey showed that people usually stop going dancing at about 37 years old. Older people often aren’t let in into a club. There are some phrases like “Dad dancing” or “Mom dancing” which imply that if you can’t do it properly anymore you shouldn’t try. Older people are allowed salsa, Zumba or attending the gym but as soon as they step into a club they get laughed at. Young people make it seem like clubbing for older is not acceptable and yet it can be really healthy for mature people. Dancing is good for heart and lungs, it reduces the risk of dementia. It also helps with depression, improves balance and gives us a boost of confidence. So who cares about people laughing at you? Get out, have fun and stop caring so much. It’s your life after all so do whatever you want and own it.
