96-yr-old Dancing Grandma - Huffpost & GMA

Came across this article from Huffpost on a news page yesterday:

Looking for the video that went with it, saw that she's also been featured on Good Morning America and other places:

Turns out if you search for "dancing nana" or "dancing grandma" there are a lot of them out there.

June Folk Dance Camp May 16-19 NIU Dekalb

Received from Mady:

...registration is open for "June Camp", ... at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. It will be held this year, exceptionally, in May, from the evening of Thursday, May 16, through Sunday noon, May 19. Featured teachers are the entertaining duo Sonia Dion and Cristian Florescu, and there are live music dance parties every evening. There are various registration categories possible, including options for those in the area who wish to drive in but stay at home. However, because of our early dates, the registration late fee date is already coming up soon, April 25, and all overnight and meal registration closes May 6. (You can only come for workshop or party only registration after that date.) Full details including online and PayPal registration are on the June Camp website at  https://sites.google.com/site/junecampifd/

 We encourage you to attend June Camp, but since we unfortunately have Saturday & Sunday conflicts this year, we won't be able to make it, and therefore will be meeting for dancing in Downers Grove as usual on Friday night May 17.
