Summary

Carrie and Ron McGee, senior five championship level amateur smooth and standard dancers, share their secrets for longevity on the dance floor. They started ballroom dancing after being invited to a party by their neighbors and quickly fell in love with it. They became the only couple left in Kansas City dancing as amateurs on the NDCA or the USABDA USA Dance Circuits. They transitioned from standard to smooth dancing and found success in both. They took a break from dancing for five years due to injuries but returned to the dance floor with a renewed passion. They emphasize the importance of reducing the intensity of routines and taking care of their bodies through physical therapy, yoga, and massage therapy. They also prioritize social interaction and the joy of dancing over winning competitions. They encourage older dancers to continue dancing but adjust their routines and expectations to accommodate their bodies. They advocate for more participation in senior five competitions and suggest organizing multi-day competitions to accommodate dancers who compete in multiple styles. Despite making mistakes along the way, they continue to dance and defy age stereotypes.
