Cougar Alert: Jumpin' and Jivin' 87-Year-Old Salsa Dancer (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

To all you jumpin’ and jivin’ wOw women, here’s a video of what’s said to be an 87-year-young woman dancing the salsa with a handsome man. We wonder: Could he be her 30-something-year-old boy toy?

The duo begins their dance nice and slow, but then this dancing queen turns up the heat. It’s breathtaking to watch such a lady turn, flip and dive. This is a woman with rhythm, flexibility and energy! She certainly resuscitates "old age" and wOw, is she inspiring. Watch:

I saw this earlier, and wondered about the age. It was good dancing, but you couldn’t see close ups. I also wondered if it was somehow photoshopped? I cannot imagine anybody being able to be so energetic at 87, but, if so, horray for her.

Have some faith in women with drive and ambition! I spent two months volunteering in tibet and while there took a side trip to Everest Base Camp, and an 84 year old English woman was along in the landcruiser behind us the whole way- bumpy ride and all- and we met her again at the camp. She told me since she was a little girl she had a small picture book called 99 things you must see in the world including the pyramids, antarctica, deserts and more…mount everest was one of her last things on the list and I was there when she achieved it.

I think it is real and the reason I say this is that when the close ups were shown, her upper body was very fluid…not stiff at all. So hooray for the lovely lady dancer! She was great and just goes to show,staying fit and young at heart…….There’s not a whole lot you can’t do.

he’s easily in his late forties (not 30s). she, is it 80s or 70s? whatever. the thrilling thing was her vigor and flexibility. inspires me to hit the gym!

I emailed this out to about 30 friends yesterday, and said that this is the way I want to be at the age of 87. What an attitude!
