Even 106-year-olds dance for joy. Need proof? You've got it thanks to a White House video shared on Twitter on Sunday. It shows centenarian Virginia McLaurin busting a move while meeting President and Michelle Obama at the White House for Black History Month, reports Us Weekly. "It's an honor, it's an honor," she told the president, before rushing across the Blue Room to meet Michelle Obama, forcing the president to tell her to "slow down." "I want to be like you when I grow up," the first lady joked to McLaurin, before joining her for an impromtu dance party. The first lady held McLaurin's hand while the president held her cane.
