Pants People at Peartree Centre
This video of residents at the Peartree Centre shows you are never too old to boogie...
For the pensioners, dubbed Pants People, joined forces with DJ Dave Lee Travis and former Pan's People dancer Dee Dee Wilde to perform a dance routine to Aretha Franklin's hit Respect.
The 1967 hit record was chosen to fit in with their current public appeal to raise £40 for Age Concern to celebrate Milton Keynes' 40th birthday.
Janet Blake, fundraiser for Age Concern Milton Keynes, said: "This has been enormous fun to produce.
"I believe it will be a light-hearted introduction for companies, organisations and individuals who want to know more about the work we do for older people in this area."
All the dancers involved in the film say practising the routine increased their energy and mobility.
Jane Palmer, chief executive, said: "We are now looking to hold a weekly dance class at the Peartree Centre, as the rehearsals proved so popular."
