The team, established two years ago by 76 year old Zhang Dingbang, practice their modeling skills twice a week during their leisure time, like the gait, step rhythm, and styling.

Together with a healthy diet, such training helps them regain the elegance and vigor.

The team not only gives frequent performances throughout Nanjing but, as their fame grows, also entertains people in surrounding areas.
