If you think your [Grandma's chocolate chip cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snif-naughy-nonna) are cool, you should see this [Pink Panther](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-sauce) Grandma dancing it out.

As an addition to a choir performance, Pink Panther Grandma went all out with her cat-like moves. In what seems like an impromptu dance, the geriatric panther danced around her fellow choir members and the audience to the classic 'Pink Panther' theme. She should be announced as the [world's coolest person over 60](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever), maybe even over 50.

**Implications** - The video was shot at the Trilogy Singers Spring Concert on May 1st, 2010. The event was held in Redmond Ridge, Washington, and Joc Helm does a fantastic job of capturing the distinct Pink Panther's funky swagger. Music Director Tobi Ellis and his choir can't help but look on in a confused manner.

Check out the video for a laugh.
