Never Too Old to Dance 

At the age of 60, Martha Gellhorn, best known as the third wife of Ernest Hemingway (although she was already an accomplished writer with a brilliant career when she met him) decided she’d learn to dance.

Here’s an excerpt from a letter she wrote to her son Sandy:

Meantime, to make you howl with laughter, I take discotheque dancing lessons, with Mary Hall, grey-haired Mum of Fred Tompkins, from an 18-year-old lassie named Pam. It is funnier than you would credit and I must say it has jogging beat, as exercise. You should see your old Mum solemnly learning steps entitled Funky Broadway, Tighten Up, Pearl, Boogaloo, Shingaling, Stomp. I specially admire that basic gesture, the heart of the matter, which most closely resembles a male dog in the act of procreation. Anything anything to make life here a little less dismal.
