The video clip below, which is currently being circulated via email, YouTube and social networking websites, shows (as claimed in video) an elderly woman expertly performing a vigorous salsa dance routine. According to a description that often circulates with the video clip, the dancing woman is none other than the famous Ginger Rogers filmed dancing at the age of 92 with her great grandson.
In fact, the woman in the video is not Ginger Rogers nor is the young man her great grandson. In fact, the video shows Englishwoman Sarah "Paddy" Jones, who was 75 years old when the film was shot in 2009. Sarah and her husband, who previously lived at Stourbridge in the UK's West Midlands, moved to Spain after retirement. Sarah, who started dancing when she was only 2 years old, decided to take salsa lessons after her husband died several years ago. Her younger dance partner shown in the video is her dance teacher, Nicholas 'Nicko' Espluos.
