Watch What Happens When This 102-Year-Old Lady Sees Herself Dance On Film For The First Time

"Don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing!"

102-year-old Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s and 40s. She thought all the footage of her dancing had been destroyed, but with the help of Jazz on Film, Barker was finally able to relive all that jazz!

Dave Shuff, Gail Campbell, volunteers and nursing home staff brought the footage to Barker.

When they hit play for Alice in her nursing room bed, she immediately spotted herself.

Yes, that's her on the right... GETTING IT!

And when one of the guys from Jazz on Film asked, "Someone said they used to call you chicken little?," she immediately recalled the reasoning.

When they asked her if she wanted to watch it again... she was ~clearly~ ready with this answer.

While watching it over, she couldn't stop pointing at herself!

Barker made sure everyone in the room knew that she still has that swing!
