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.
