Watch 103-year-old Dinkie Flowers dancing in her home studio.
Video shows Britain’s oldest dancer, who turned 103 on May 7, dancing at her ballet barre. Dinkie Flowers, born in 1921, has been dancing since the age of three and still practices almost every day. She studied at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and went on to ice skate all over the world. Dinkie has danced in front of the Royal Family in Baghdad and she performed for Prince Phillip at an Ice Gala in Paris in 1952.
The mum-of-one and grandmother-of-four from Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, plans to celebrate her birthday in style with her carer Lesley Tomlinson, friends and old pupils she has taught in dance classes over the years. Lesley says Dinkie still does her dancing every Friday and one hour ‘keep fit and dance’ classes three days each week. She said: “Dinkie still doesn’t take any medication, doesn’t wear glasses or hearing aids, all she has is short term memory loss.
