The wonders of technology certainly works wonders when it comes to breaking down barriers, as this is evident with news of a 102-year old dancer who has just watched her own dancing videos – and for the very first time in her life, to boot. The Harlem Renaissance had a chorus dancer who goes by the moniker Alice Barker, and curiously enough,she had never seen herself on film – not until now, that is. Surely this is a very, very long time of waiting!

One ought to take note that Barker celebrated her 102nd birthday not too long ago, and she was shown her films for the very first time. Needless to say, she was thrilled to bits, when she watched herself dance in the films that made Barker wish she could turn back time and do it all over again. The video harked back 80 years old, and it certainly made her happy – very happy.

I mean, I would be too, if someone were to show me footage of me in my prime, there would definitely be a thrill in my step – if I could be that mobile, of course. Hopefully my heart will not skip too many beats in the process, and I drop dead along the way!
