Dancing When You're Old

I never could dance, i did the ballet and tap thing when i was younger. I even took baton lessons and didn't look half bad in my costume (at 7). I didn't really have any dancing experience again until high school and that was the 80's - we really didn't dance as much and jump and flail our arms (when we danced at all - most of the time the girls stood around in a circle and watched the boys in their circle playing the air guitar). Then there was my wedding - but we mostly slow danced and did the eighties jumping and flailing thing. My dear husband and i even took ballroom and while we were there we were GOOD. As soon as we left the building we forgot all we learned. I dance at home when no one is watching but even i don't think i'm very good.
Today we had a group of ladies who range in age from 55 to 78 and they make me feel bad about myself becuase i would love to be able to dance....and i would love to have the figure at their age that these gals have...............They are still having this much fun at their age!
The are known as the Strutters and are very popular....they have danced in Las vegas, Russia, Australia and many many more. Here they are with Savion Glover (greatest tap dancer in the world)
