In some people’s eyes, age is a number. They believe that there are age limits to things one should do. As an example, some believe one shouldn’t wear skinny jeans after the age of 30. For others, they may believe age 18 is the limit. Most people even have expectations for what they believe certain age groups are even capable of doing. These generalizations and assumptions, however, can definitely be false. You’re adding more limitations to your life if you ask me.
One 87-year-old woman defied many expectations by being so lively and dancing up a storm when she attended a wedding. The footage is attracting thousands on the Internet. In fact, the video currently has 50,000 views and counting.
In the video, the song “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins is blaring. The woman begins dancing with who appears to be her son. My heart skips a beat each time the elderly woman is spun by her dance partner! She is too cute.
At one point in the video, the man even looked like he was getting a bit dizzy and fatigued — that’s how high-energy the dance was. He’s probably thinking in his head, “Slow down, woman!” But, the grandma kept dancing on! Heck, the woman has more energy than I do. I would have been dizzy and out-of-breath after about three spins! (Okay, maybe not three spins. But you get my drift.)
Overall, watching the two dance was absolutely adorable. A lot of the time when we have aging parents or grandparents, they can no longer do the things they once liked to do. This is completely understandable because a lot of changes come with aging. However, this elderly woman hit the dance floor like nobody was watching! She didn’t hold back for a second, and that’s the most impressive part.
In fact, by the end of the video, this star dancer had to be escorted off the dance floor by her partner as she was getting a bit wild. This just goes to prove that regardless of your age, a little perseverance can help you push a bit past what is believed to be your “limit.”
Watch the wedding dance featuring the 87-year-old woman below. I personally think it was both touching and impressive at the same time.
After watching, please share the video on social media if you enjoyed it. Give your family and friends something fun to watch!
