102-Year-Old Sees Footage Of Herself Dancing In The 30s For First Time (Video)

by Adam Pliskin

Alice Barker is a 102-year-old woman who used to be a dancer during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s and 1940s.

Some of her dances were recorded as "Soundies," or musical short films. She also appeared in full-length movies, TV shows and commercials.

Though Alice danced alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, she had never seen footage of herself. That is, until very recently.

In the video above, you can see Alice reacting to seeing herself dance for the first time. It's lovely to see people can still be surprised at 102 years old.
