'Grease' is the word for this park dance crew

Zaldy Lanas takes the front spot on a paved path in a park. Behind him stands his crew, all women, some young and some older, set to dance to a song from Grease. more

It is "You're the One That I Want." The dancers are amateurs, his students rather than pros, but they follow his lead and stay together right on the beat.

Several people stand on a tree-lined path near a street sign, some with hands on hips and some with arms raised. A headline runs in white letters across the lower third.Save
Some with hands on hips, the dancers spread out along a paved path under the trees.

They shimmy and shake. They work through box steps and sway their hips, bright tops over black pants, the whole group moving at once. Their stage is a paved path under the trees, no-entry road signs and all.

What you notice most are the smiles. The mix of ages is half the fun, too, with younger and older women dancing side by side and nobody falling behind.

Zaldy Lanas takes the front spot on a paved path in a park.

Lanas likes helping people find their own creativity through dance, and he chose this song for his crew to share. The people watching keep coming back to him, too. They call the lead guy nice and talented, and one fan writes that the gentleman in front makes their wife smile.

For lots of them, the song does the rest. Some were kids or teenagers when Grease came out, one saw it at a drive-in when it opened, and this routine on a park path takes them right back. One self-described old senior is dancing along, too.

The music keeps going, and so do they, young and old together, on a path that was never meant to be a dance floor.
