PHOTO: 106-Year-Old Woman Turns White House Visit Into A Dance Party

Barack and Michelle Obama are no strangers to busting a move , but this week the presidential couple were completely outshone by the twinkle-toed magic of a spry centenarian. On Sunday, the White House shared a delightful video of Virginia McLaurin's meet-and-greet with the Obamas. McLaurin, 106, who's long harbored a dream to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, was invited to take part in Black History Month celebrations. "I thought I would never live to get in the White House," McLaurin marveled, looking at the Obamas.

At 106 years old, she's seen more than a dozen presidents come and go, but Virginia McLaurin says she can finally die happy after meeting President Barack Obama. The grandmother tells The Associated Press that when she saw the president and first lady Michelle Obama in the flesh, she was so happy, she started dancing.
"So, what's the secret to still dancing at 106?" President Obama asked McLaurin. Well, for one thing, she still volunteers 40 hours a week at a nearby school as a foster grandparent. CBS News found her on Monday sitting in the sun outside her apartment in Washington, D.C.
