I can't watch the video with my dial up but I can tell you that it always turns folk's heads when old people actually get out there and move!

My folks have been dancing for the past 10 years: line dancing, jitterbugging, shagging and clogging. They love it! And they don't take old people steps, either....Dad still throws Mom up in the air for the jitterbugging steps...people always get a thrill when they see them dance. They start dancing at the beginning of the dance and don't stop until the dance is over....meaning they don't sit down.

They even entered a college dance competition once! They are pretty famous down in their neck of the woods....they have had offers from people wanting them to endorse products, dance at different events, teach dancing,etc.

Now, however, Dad has ALZ and he is slowly forgetting the steps to the structured dances ....sure can still free style though!

They are 78 and 75. Got a whole lot of energy when they went to a vegan lifestyle about 15 years ago.

I can't dance my way out of a paper bag.....

Man that lady had great legs...... I think the key was is shes never stopped. Dancing since she was five. Give me reason to take my girls to lessons. maybe it will be good for their retirement and beyond.

wow!
