At 100, Britain's Oldest Dancer Leads Flash Mob to Classic '60s Tune
Reported byNice News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Bernard Gilbert, age 100 and believed to be Britain's oldest dancer, led more than 200 people in a flash mob dance to Roger Miller's 'King of the Road' in Worcester city center on Sept. 19, performing kicks and flicks despite a rugby injury at 16 that ended his playing career and led him to dancing instead.
Gilbert started dancing in 1942 after his injury; he became a dance teacher at 74 following his wife's death 26 years ago.
