Mathilda's Solo at age 94

This woman is absolutely amazing! She met her husband at a roller skating rink when she was young. She and her husband skated for many years. When he died of Parkinson's in Arizona, she moved to Florida to be near her sisters and decided to take ballroom dancing lessons. This was the beginning of a new career for her. (She hated living in a retirement community and listening to all the complaints of her peers, so she took up dancing!)

Wow! Wait until you get a load of this gal!
