In China, the number of older people is growing.

This isn't good for society, especially the health system.

So, making sure they stay healthy is important.

Public exercise, for example tai chi, has always been popular in China.

Many group events take place in town squares.

The latest fashion is 'Happy Dancing'.

This was created by Yu Jicheng, who's surprised by its success.

Yu planned the dance routine in 2008 and he still gives classes daily.

Yu thinks it's the typical actions which make Happy Dancing special, because they make people move different parts of their body.

At 73, he's a great example for his fans.

He hopes his Happy Dancers can carry on until they're 99.

And they shouldn't stop then!

Local woman Yingzi loves joining the public groups in Jiamusi, Yu's own city.

She knows her own health has improved by doing the classes.

Now Happy Dancing groups are becoming popular across China.

It's hoped more and more dancers will stay happier, and also healthier.
