    Ginger Rogers at 92 and her great grandson,29


    Good Golly! I'm taking up dancing!

    Absolutely REMARKABLE!

    Ginger Rogers at 92 and her great grandson, 29 dance the Salsa To
    All of you younger people..... This lady was a headline dancer back in
    The 1930s and the 1940s.

    Watch all the way through, the beginning is a warm up. Remember,

    She is 92, her great grandson is 29 - watch them dance!

    Wow, I don't know how she did that. I have a hard time just doing normal things at 47. LOL. I guess the saying use it or lose it must be true.

    Sorry, this isn't Ginger. Ginger passed away in her mid 80's. Check on snopes.com and get the skinny on this. The fella is the woman's dance instructor and she isn't 92.....

    Well shoot. I didn't think to check snopes, and I usually do. Oh well, whoever she is, I hope I can move a quarter as well.

    No, this isn't Ginger but she's still pretty impressive!!!

    This is the right information: The dancer is Sarah Paddy Jones, the oldest salsa dancer. Please go to:

    “Sarah Paddy Jones – Oldest Salsa Dancer” and “76 year old dancing granny dances the salsa”

    It didn't look like Ginger Rogers to me. Her style of dancing seemed a little different, too. But you're right, she is amazing.
