The term “ajumma” is a Korean word that refers to middle-aged women, but it often carries a cultural stereotype: the image of an “Asian mom” with a strong will and a thrifty, no-nonsense spirit. What I witnessed at Min Line Dance Academy, however, was something quite different. Women my mother’s age—and even older—were brimming with energy, dancing for more than an hour without pause. After the session, they gathered to take photos together, each dressed in outfits of their choice, some even wearing coordinated looks. In that moment, I realized that growing older does not have to mean growing dull. These women live with vibrancy; their joy may not come from the same entertainment we seek, but from their own ways of reconnecting, expressing themselves, and socializing.
