Wirginia Szmyt is a DJ from Poland who goes by the name “DJ Wika,” and she’s quickly developed quite a fanbase as the oldest DJ in Poland.

Dressed in yellow trousers, shiny platform shoes, red lipstick and armed with her headphones, Wika packs her CDs, mixer and laptop, and can often be seen heading off to spin for a packed dance floor of mainly senior citizens.

“I don’t care if someone likes it or not that I am dancing or jumping behind the console, because I cannot play and stay still,” said Wika as she clapped with her audience. “When I play, I feel the melody, I feel the rhythm.”

For the past twenty years, Wika has been DJ-ing for Polish retirees, and she’s been quite successful. Each Monday, Wika entertains about 1,000 people at the Hula Kula club, where she plays everything from disco and rock to samba and ballads.

“I do not fit the stereotype of an elderly person. I don’t see a reason why my age should determine my life norms,” said Wika, who previously worked as a former special educational teacher.

“I used to work with young people and I kept this youthful outlook and youthful expectations … My message to youths is that your life does not end when you are 70,” she continued. “They would say ‘Miss Wika we are already 40, we are so old’. And I am twice as old as you and … I am not old, by no means.”
