We should not give up doing activities we enjoy simply because we are becoming older. It should simply serve as a reminder to go gently and cherish every moment spent doing so.

When a person reaches the age when they can no longer perform things as successfully as they once could, they sometimes become disheartened; nevertheless, aging can be seen positively by viewing it as an opportunity to do things more wisely.

When we are doing things we’re passionate about like, let’s say, for example, dancing, it’s hard to retire from doing it even at an old age.

Tom is a 96-year-old man who is taking dance classes to rekindle his passion for dancing.

Tom has been dancing for about 30 years but he stopped stepping on the dance floor after his wife, who was also his favorite dance partner, passed away.

His Son Encouraged Him

His grief almost took him away from his passion. Fortunately, his son enrolled him in dance classes with Liya who helped him get back on his dancing feet.

Liya Kazbekova is a world-champion dancer who also teaches Latin and ballroom dancing in Los Angeles, California.

Liya is another of Tom’s many fans when it comes to dancing. “He’s 96 years old and a dancer,” she explained. My source of motivation and inspiration. My student, Tom, deserves a standing ovation. “Once a dancer, always a dancer.”

Tom surprised Liya with his amazing talent in dancing. Even the professional dancer is impressed by Tom’s footwork that hasn’t been rusted by time and age.
