Barbara Peters, an 80 year old woman is the oldest lady in the UK to take a grade 7 in ballet.
Barbara originates from Halifax in Northern England. She elegantly got a merit in a grade 7 ballet exam which is a good outcome for this event. She has been dancing since she was two years old but gave up 58 years ago in her 20s.
She now teaches ballet. Barbara found out on the eve of her 80th birthday that she had got a merit. ”I am thrilled!” she said ,”It was my best birthday present!”
Barbara is now planning on taking her grade 8 exam which proves no-one is too old for dancing.
