Wish I could dance like this! This lady just turned 70 and can bust a move! If you like the video please share it with freinds (nice comments only please, she's a super nice person).

 

Thanks, She had a heart attack last year, but is doing much better now.

this is excellent, and she is not too old to be dancin and so pretty too!! I love to dance, and even if it's just in my own house, I hope I don't have to stop for a long time!!
 
Beautiful! My mom danced til the day she passed. After working 10-12 hour days (age 70),she would go out and DANCE at night. Funny family story,in fact...when my second dd was around 8,she had something that she needed to have sewn. I told her "That`s something I would have taken to my Nonie to have sewn." She answered,"Well,my Nonie doesn`t sew-my Nonie dances." :) I ended up having that phrase (My Nonie dances) engraved on a little gold ID type bracelet for my mom. She wore it every day for the rest of her life....
 
awesome story! Yes, we are never too old to dance in my opinion;) I sometimes wish I did live in a bigger city so I could go again. about 95 I was doing a lot of country/western dancing, not because I'm a cowgirl but because I just like the waltze, two-step, travelling chacha;) My gal-friend and I would go every Friday night!! I still have my wranglers and boots, LOL! Mostly thought, I'm a rocker, and love dancing around to that:)

Dancing is a wonderful life affirming thing to do. I was struck coming here how many older people dance and dance well! Interesting as they dance with younger ones as well all together:

Oh boy, I would enjoy this so much!! One thing I forgot, is I did used to square dance, and dance country too, but now with my stupid hand messed up, a guy would just have to grab my hand wrong and I'd be on the floor in pain:( Funny how that thought didn't occur to me. Oh well, maybe we could just do the bump, LOL!!

YOu would love it Denise. Me, I just do not know that kind of dancing and I'd have to take lessons. It's such infectious fun that it makes you just want to join in.
 
The woman is only 70 for heavens sake, people seem to be talking about her as if she is 170! Many people of her age can still trip the light fantastic, it is no big deal!

I don't see it as being about her physical ability as much as about her spirit. Which is that of youthful exhuberance and an embracing of life. That is noteworthy as many her age, even younger, don't display that.

I could NEVER do this dance but I am in awe of it and that is River Dance. I think that is what they call the actual dance?? Anyway, of course I got to see it, the one with Michael Flatly (not live though, dvd)!!

You're referring to Irish step dancing. And yes, it is arduous and they usually start young. Flately brought it to the world's attention but it's been part of Irish culture for centuries. My husband has a neice who some years back made it to the in Belfast. I went to see them dance and it brought tears to my eyes.

So young and hopeful and the music so stirring. Here are some more recent examples of those competitions in Belfast:

I'm a rocker from way back, like Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Stones, but I so love and appreciate other types of music as well, especially the Celtic type, I think that is what it is called. When I take the time to really listen, it is way more moving emotionally, the rock. I just think the rock brings back special times in my life;)

PS now I see the video, I can watch it now. At first it wasn't showing;)

You're like me; very eclectic musical tastes. Yes, had problems getting that video up.:tapfoot:
 
More power to her!

My mom made me take ballroom dance lessons when I was 10. Thought it was stupid, of course. But, learned to dance very well, had a lot of fun and that made the ladies happy throughout my life so not such a bad idea after all. Now, of course, my body is just too beat-up do much beyond groove to the music . . . while sitting on my butt.
