Salsa Dancing Abuela Proves Age Is Just A Number When It Comes To Fancy Footwork.

Many people fear getting old, but aging doesn’t mean we can’t stay young at heart forever. In a video that’s circulating the globe, we get a glimpse of a grandmother named Chava who doesn’t slow down one bit when she straps on her dancing shoes!

Actor and dancer Brando Pérez of Colombia shared several videos of himself dancing with Chava, and her salsa skills would be impressive for someone half her age. As it is, she’s in her 80s and can still keep up with Brando with no trouble at all.

According to Brando, Chava has hit rough times lately and is barely scraping by. She has several health problems, including Parkinson’s disease and a history of strokes. Yet when the music starts to play, her pain melts away, and she effortlessly shows off the steps she’s been mastering all her life.

Brava, Chava! Music clearly runs deeply in her veins. Watch more of her smooth moves in the video below, and don’t forget to share this incredible story.
