Have a amateur friend 68 years old. He has been dancing for about 8 years. He has a very good coach and takes about 2 lessons per week. He has two dance partners one for Am. Smooth (no open work) and one for Int. Standard. He competes about 3 or 4 times a year and usually wins or comes close in Sr. USABA events. His movement, posture and musicallity is very good. His routines are nothing fancy, but with excellent technique--and he is still improving. He does not look 68 when dancing.
