Start your day with a palate-cleanser: 102-year-old dancer watches, for the first time, film of herself performing

"How did it feel seeing yourself?" one woman asks Barker. "Making me wish I could get out of this bed and do it all over again," Barker responds.
Great story via Mashable - watch the video below:


When 102-year-old Alice Barker strutted in the chorus line during the '30s and '40s, personal video was something only found in people's dreams. 

Fortunately, with the help of David Shuff and Mark Cantor of Jazz on Film, Barker was finally able to see her younger self dance for the first time.

After a watching a few videos, Barker got right back into the swing of things.

"How did it feel seeing yourself?" one woman asks Barker. "Making me wish I could get out of this bed and do it all over again," Barker responds.


Read the whole thing at Mashable - they also have address information for Ms. Barker, should you wish to write to her.
