Video Description: Members of the senior citizen dance company, Still Dancing, move with large colourful tropical grass umbrellas in unlikely spaces around Glasgow, including the Barras Market, Govanhill Baths (a disused swimming baths) and Govan Docks (a disused dock). Their movement involves them repeatedly putting the umbrellas up and down, sometimes struggling with them, or dancing with them and waving them around.
