Ballet dancer, 88, takes to stage

Hi All

I found this at the BBC website:

Quote
Ballet dancer, 88, takes to stage 
 
An 88-year-old man is set to star in his first ballet show after taking up dance at the age of 79.
Grandfather to 11, John Lowe, of Witchford, Cambs, took up dancing having watched his daughter Alison become a professional dancer.

The retired teacher said: "It's a wonderful thing to do and I can't understand why more men don't do it."

Mr Lowe is due to appear with the Lantern Dance Theatre Company, in Ely, on Sunday evening.

Pirouettes have been perfected in daily practice at home ahead of Mr Lowe's performance in Prokofiev's The Stone Flower at The Maltings.

The full story can be found here.

How inspirational.  Just goes to show - when you're dragging your friends along to a dance class that anybody can do it!

John.
