It’s Never Too Late to Swing Dance: Elderly Couple Lovingly Joins Together After 54 Years of Dancing
An elderly couple from Germany has brought joy to the world through their decades-long adventures in dance.
They say dance has not only kept them physically fit but has also strengthened their marriage.
The couple has “experienced many beautiful moments” during their journey over five decades of dance and says that dancing, in this day and age, can bring life and joy to people who really need it.
“If people danced more, there would definitely be less trouble,” Mrs. Ehrentraut said. “Dancing expands your horizons. There are no national borders, no prejudices when you dance—everyone is part of the big dance family.”

The Ehrentraut’s love story began in 1968 when Mrs. Ehrentraut was just 15 and her future husband, Dietmar, was 21. Any guesses where they met?
