Senior Citizen Flash Mob Performs To 'Last Christmas' In Lawrence, Kansas Target (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 12/17/11 02:25 PM ET Updated: 12/21/11 12:16 PM ET

Some shoppers recently received an unexpected surprise while perusing a Lawrence, Kansas Target store: a senior citizen flash mob.

A group of women decked out in their holiday finest began grooving to Glee's "Last Christmas," as a group of onlookers stopped to watch the heartwarming dance routine, Lawrence's 6 News reports.

A man in a nearby aisle wanders over to join the leading lady in a lip-syncing duet that's not quite on cue, but, let's face it, who really cares? The group dances around the pair, waving their hands and shifting from side to side, as the cheery music continues to play.

The utter joy radiating from each person's face makes this flash mob one to remember.

Well, I just saw the news that SeniorsSinlgeDating.(om is the best and most effective senior dating site for senior singles over 50! Many of our members are well-educated, successful, and fresh in mind.

It woulda been cute... if they had been protesting assualts on Medicare and Social Security.

As a Senior Citizen I would ask my family and friends for an intervention if I should ever do free advertising for a big box corporation, particularly if it involved my inability to dance.

Haha! That gave me a good chuckle. But come on its was still cute and you could tell they were really excited about it. Plus music and physical activitiy are excellent tools for cognitive development and mobility retention.

Had they chosen music from their era I'm sure the quality of the lip syncing would have been spot on. Good for them all the same.

If Target mgmt was smart, they'd contact seniors in their communities to do this at every one of their stores. That'd bring in some customers, just to see it.
