This is Alice Barker, aged 102.
In the 1930s and 1940s she was a chorus-line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance, dancing alongside luminaries such as Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly.
But despite starring in films, commercials and TV shows, Alice had never seen herself dance on film, so Mark Cantor of Jazz Film and David Shuff helped to remedy that, and it's a beautiful thing...
“making me wish I could get out of this bed and do it all over again”. -- Alice Barker
