Be amazed by the YouTube video of a 76 year old woman Salsa dancing better than anyone a third of her age! Don’t be fooled by the title ‘Ginger Rogers dances salsa at 92’, it’s not Ginger, it’s a beautiful mature lady showing us all up. If it doesn’t get you inspired to dance, I don’t know what will! Now go get your dancing shoes and find your way to our Top 5 dance spots in and around Cape Town (except that guy with the two left feet shuffling around at the back dragged along by his wife – you can go back home and watch the rugby).
