Dancing Nana Gets National Attention, Over 2.2 Million YouTube Views

A 30-year Salem resident and grandmother is making the national rounds after a YouTube video of her dancing taken by her granddaughter Chelsey recently went viral.

While Esther Feole moved to a nursing home and no longer lives in town, that hasn't stopped her from enjoying life.

In a video simply titled "Dancing Nana," the 88-year-old woman is seen walking down the steps to the car, breaking it down to "Runaround Sue," a popular track from 1961 performed by Dion.

The video has netted 2,283,579 views as of this afternoon, with over 5,000 comments also posted.

In the clip, Chelsey waits in the car as her grandmother grooves to the beat.

Finally, Esther speaks in the end, and to Chelsey's shock, drops her trademark line that she "could dance all (expletive) day."

But the support for "Dancing Nana" on YouTube has been the tip of the iceberg.

The viral sensation has been featured in publications across the country, even getting play on CNN. Feole said that they are trying to get her nana on the Ellen Degeneres Show.

This is not the first time that Chelsey has been associated with Patch coverage here in N.H.

The Windham resident was the subject of a profile in February 2012 related to a youth field hockey program that she started from scratch.

Nana's exploits have since been turned into a trilogy. A sequel titled "Dancing Nana Part II" has netted over 152,000 views while "Dancing Nana Part III" has almost hit 90,000.
