Elderly people are getting exercise by disco dancing with a class in the central Japanese prefecture of Toyama.

Some 110 elderly people took part in the lesson organized by a federation of senior citizens' clubs in Uozu City.

Participants learned the steps and how to move their bodies, and were soon dancing to the rhythm of disco hits from the 1970s. The venue was filled with as much excitement as a disco dance floor. The participants raised their hands vigorously in a sign of enjoyment.

Members of a local high school dance club were there too to show off their moves.

A woman in her 70s said she's enjoying it as if she were back in her youth.
Another woman in her 80s said she sweat a lot, but it's wonderful to be able to dance with kids young enough to be her great-grandchildren.
