3. Edna

January 1, 2019

Edna is 81 years old and she's got energy. No matter what heartache she's suffered in her life, she always finds joy and hope through her friends, volunteering and new hobbies. Hula-hooping is her latest hobby, and when she hoops she floats.

2. Danuta

January 1, 2019

For Danuta, age is an illusion. At 73, she always looks her best. At night, she serves homecooked food to crowds at a Brooklyn concert hall. When the music ends, the real show begins, as Danuta glides effortlessly through the hall on roller blades.

1. Bernard

January 1, 2019

Throughout Bernard's life, one thing has been constant: he loves to dance. Women have come and gone, but at 79 you can still find him on the dance floor, winning competitions with his partner Edna, 87. There's romance there, but it's all for dance.
