Barn dancer proves we’re never too old to cut loose

This New York farmer knows exactly how to live it up! Jay Lavery said on his Facebook page when he posted the video recently: “It’s that time of the year for the Lets Move Challenge. Dancing is how I stay warm in the barn and I never know when I’m going to break out into a dance.”

But there’s a lot more to his story than that. He said that 15 years ago, he had a traumatic back injury that resulted in several surgeries.

“Dancing along with yoga and meditation are my only alternatives to pain medication. So I hope this can inspire anyone to move in spite of pain and I hope this puts a smile on your face for the New Year.”

You definitely put a smile on ours, Mr. Lavery!
