There aren't many people who can hold a candle to Dorothy Dale Kloss, the oldest showgirl in the world. (But my aunt is still tap dancing in her 80s!)
It's a lot of fun to research her name on the Internet, then see her in various videos and listen to the audio of her on a radio show.
Talk about inspiration!
Think about what it takes to rehearse for 8 hour stretches, pun intended.
She has beauty, verve and humor, not to mention grace, stamina and ability.
I wanna be her when I grow up. But to do that, first I'll have to begin to take tap lessons (never took them, but took ballet and jazz.) Book Girl has a good start as she is taking up tap again.
What to do with her life
She wondered what she would do with her life when her son and his family moved cross country. She had been a professional dancer from the time she was 15 and even taught Bob Fosse when he was a boy. Imagine that! One of her students suggested she audition for the Follies in Palm Springs.
She won her spot when she was 71 (all them are 55 or older.)
And she has a 63 year old boyfriend. How about that!
Don't you just love to hear of people who are still active and vital! I sure do.
And how come I didn't know this was there when I was visiting Palm Springs! Now that I'm not visiting Palm Springs, I hear about the show! Where's the justice in that!
But here's the thing
When I grow up, I wanna be a little bit crazy; a little bit wild; a little bit zany, and whole lotta me. I want to be more me than the me I was and the me I am. LOL! And why not, when to get there, we only need to plan for it today.
I hope you put some fun in your life today! Amen to that!
