Just because a person gets older, doesn’t mean they have to stop doing what they love.
Of course, nature can put a halt on some things – but if something is healthy that makes a person happy, then why not. As they say, you’re only as old as you feel.
There are elderly people all over the world who demonstrate age is just a number when it comes to certain activities. From competing in marathons to still doing gymnastics – it’s amazing to see what people are still capable of.
Although not everyone is cut from the same cloth (as our bodies are made differently) – some men and women are simply inspirational when it comes to defying age.
For one 96-year-old, there was no way she was going to miss out on dancing at a wedding.
Oftentimes the dance floor at a wedding reception can get pretty crazy. It can be intimidating no matter what age someone is – but they can be a lot of fun, too.
So when the opportunity arose to participate in a dance routine during a reception, the granny decided to show the crowd “she’s still got it.”
And oh boy, can this lady move!
The song in the background playing is “Locked Out of Heaven,” by Bruno Mars. Despite being nearly 100, the woman shakes her hips just as well as anyone else on the floor (perhaps even better) as they perform a choreographed dance. It looks like everyone’s having a blast.
The group claps their hands, twirls around, and puts in lots of fancy footwork. They’re really entertaining to watch.
Yet, there’s one special lady upfront that shines like a diamond – and that’s granny!
It’s not a plain old dance either. Come on, the song’s a Bruno Mars hit, so of course it’s going to have some flavor and spice. For anyone thinking being nine decades old should keep a woman from getting down to today’s music – think again.
But there’s one aspect of this video that really sticks out above the rest.
It’s not just the way the woman can still move her hips. Nor is it the fact that she can still spin around without her body giving out and taking a spill.
The best part is seeing the happy look on her face.
She’s out on the dance floor having fun, enjoying life with her family, and not allowing anyone to make her feel she should be doing differently because she’s 96.
While the body and mind may age – there’s no saying the spirit has to, too. This lady should be an inspiration to all.
Even the internet loved watching this woman boogie down on the dance floor.
On the YouTube video, people wrote positive and encouraging comments in response.
“Yes ma’am! She has all the moves. Light on her feet & smooth with it! I love it! I wish to move this way when I’m older.”
Another person said:
“I FELL IN LOVE FROM THE MOMENT SHE TOOK HER FIRST STEP. YOU GO GO GO GO GIRL.”
Get ready, it’s a scene that really helps brighten the day!
