Barack and Michelle Obama are no strangers to
busting a move, but this week the presidential couples were completely outshone
by the twinkle-toed magic of a spry centenarian.
On Sunday, the
White House shared a delightful video of Virginia McLaurin’s meet-and-greet
with the Obamas. McLaurin, 106, who’s long harbored a dream to visit 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, was invited to take part in Black History celebrations.
“I thought I would never live to
get in the White House,” McLaurin marveled, looking at the Obamas. “I am so
happy… A black president; a black wife; and I am here to celebrate black
history.”
McLaurin, a D.C resident, showed
off her dance moves during the meeting, prompting Obama to exclaim: “Slow down
now, don’t go too quick!”
But McLaurin was having none of
it.
When asked about the secret to
dancing at 106, she had a straightforward answer: “Just keep movin’!”
