We have often heard the saying, 'age is just a number,' and several people live and breathe this saying in their daily lives. 

The saying relates to how people view getting older and has much to do with the stereotypes surrounding the elderly community. We are always willing to defy the mindset that you're 'too old' to do something. 

In a video shared on social media, we see an elderly man instructing his dance class. The man, believed to be 71-years-old, does what looks like a back-breaking move, leaving some of his students stunned, proving that you're only as old as you feel.

The person who shared the video aptyl captioned it: "71 years young and still breaking it down on the streets! Age is just a number when passion leads the way. Let’s groove into the golden years!" 

Watch the video from Instagram below. 

One of the video's most liked comments said, "I’m half his age, and my knees cracked just watching this."

"That one move would have had my joints cracking like glow sticks."

"Great moves! Yuki is about to turn 60 next month, and continues to be a great inspiration to us all, young and old!"

"The dance off’s at retirement homes going to be lit in 10-20 years."

"Not me complaining about my back in my 20’s."

It's fair to assume that he is doing great for his age and defying all the age sayings...
