Inspiring 80-year-old Barbara enchants Matthew to dance a waltz! - The Greatest Dancer | Auditions

Subscribe and 🔔 to the BBC 👉 bit.ly/BBCYouT...
Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer... Octogenarian ballet dancer Barbara Peters performs to Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky. Matthew Morrison joins her on stage.
It’s week 3 of the dance talent show where dancers of any age and dance style compete to win £50,000 and a chance to perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
Leading the charge to discover the greatest dancer are three superstar dance captains - platinum-selling singer Cheryl, Broadway and Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse.
The series is hosted by singer and presenter Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo, member of multi-award-winning dance troupe Diversity.
The audience hold the power - if they are impressed by the audition, they can vote to open the mirror, and if 75 per cent of the audience vote yes then the mirror will open and the dancer will make it through to the next stage of the competition, the callbacks. Get ready to see talent from across the world of dance, from ballet to jazz, street to ballroom, contemporary to disco as the dancers give the performances of their lives in the hope of opening the mirror.

This is why Matthew is my favourite judge ❤️

[@trip2605]

Matt is such a gentleman 😂😍❤️

[@teleopinions1367]

I wonder if they should have a category just for seniors. That lady is incredible, moving and dancing is excellent for everybody from teens till you drop dead in your 100s.

[@LV2UXO77]

I'm starting to get addicted to this show! I just discovered it yesterday. I'm playing catch-up with all the videos. I've never been so inspired by so many dancers who are going for their dreams. I really believe if you keep moving by exercise or especially dancing: No matter what style of dance you love to do? It is the "KEY" to a much longer life! Mrs. Peter's is 80 years old & still teaches Ballet? Her dance moves are elegant & graceful. Mrs. Peter's is a living testimony, that if we live the right life style, anything's possible! It's up to us in what we chose to do with our lives! God Bless You Mrs. Peter's ✝️ She's 80 years young & you can easily see how much she loves life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Christine Jackson lol me to

[@jshelregzjanereginian6738]

Same here

[@glorybelieve9010]

Christine Jackson - Age is a number, the real truth is what you believe in your mind, if you think and believe you are young and live it in your heart and soul you will stay that way. Both my parents were young, gorgeous, way beyond their years my Dad is 83 and looks not a day over 60, my Beautiful Mom, bless her adorable young heart and soul, past at a month before her 73rd birthday but she was absolutely gorgeous, even though people tell me how young I look, and tell me I don’t look anywhere near my 50’s, she had less wrinkles than I had at 50 and she was 21 years older than myself. I’m lucky because I have/had the best parents and they were both young at heart, young looking, and young thinking people. They always parented us strictly but also let us have our independence and have a good time, as long as they could be there when the kids were having some drinks, so they could make sure things didn’t get out of hand, and the other parents knew there was adults monitoring the situation. If you think young, you WILL look young, but you have to take care of yourself as well. It doesn’t happen on its own, it’s all a process. To be young you must think, feel, act and do things, that young people do, and not act like you are an old man or old maid.

[@lauren4522]

Her posture was so good I sat up and omg like wow 🥰

[@ramonawendt5185]

The secret to aging gracefully is to keep moving. This woman is an example of that. Once a person stops moving, that is when the body freezes up. I would love to be able to move like this woman.

[@carmensusma8148]

To have a standing ovation at 80! Is an amazing!! It’s beautiful what everyone done for this lovely ballerina!! You guys have my respect!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
