With their slick moves, Octogenarian dancers prove age is just a number

Russian pensioners Maya Kachina and Lev Kitayev enjoyed proving that age is just a number as they charm elderly audiences in Moscow with their dance moves. With wardrobes full of sparkling costumes and cabinets packed with trophies, dancing has given the pair a new life. When they first began to dance as a pair, Kachina had much to learn from Kitayev and felt like she had to prove herself. But after years of practice the pair has become one of the most senior dancing couples in Russia.

The pair said most of their earnings go towards dancing shoes and new costumes, with Kitayev owning a collection of over 40 dancing outfits. The dancing couple also said their motivation is driven by the need to share the joy of dancing with their dazed audiences.
