The clip captures the true essence of who Connie truly was, an entertainer and the true life of the party, who was not afraid to take off her shoes and hit the dance floor when her favourite song came on.
Speaking to choreographer, Nkateko "Takkies" Dinwiddy, she told Briefly News that dance has no age restriction, although you need to listen to your body:
"Age ain’t nothing but a number! It’s very important to listen to your body when you are moving. No matter the age, if your body is complaining, that’s your sign to take it easy. Our bodies are all different, and so are our capabilities. With that said, anyone can move as much as their body allows them to."
