GIGS FOR OVER-50S: SWEDEN'S ELDERLY RETURN TO THE DANCE FLOORS

At 81, this DJ's grooving

She drops the beat and gets her groove on, spinning discs like a pro as her head-to-toe sequins twinkle under the lights: 81-year-old DJ Gloria is filling dance floors across Sweden.

"I've been a DJ for 16 years. Today I'm really good. There's not a person I can't get onto the dance floor," she said at her seniors' residence in southern Stockholm.

DJ Gloria, whose real name is Madelein Mansson, plays Sweden's hottest nightclubs with special gigs for crowds over the age of 50 - ID cards required - which primarily draw women who just want to get down and boogie.
