1. Here is a video of

92 year old Ginger Rogers dancing. Your post reminded me of it.

3. I see why you told me to wait til after the warm-up. Dancing must keep one young, amazing.

I should pick it up again.

Ginger Rogers (July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995) was an American actress, dancer, and singer who appeared in film, and on stage, radio, and television throughout much of the 20th century.

8. Oddly enough, Ginger Rogers died

at age 83. So who is that really dancing?

9. well, she may not be ginger rogers, or even 92, but she's definitely over 60 & moving well for her

age.

2. My mother's cousin was a Rockette

She danced until she died at age 85.

5. After seeing that video & hearing these stories, I'm really thinking I should take

up dancing again.

I used to love it (watching & participating) -- but I sucked big-time....:>)
