102-year-old sees footage of her dancing days for first time

Alice Barker, 102, has become the latest YouTube sensation. Barker used to be a Harlem Renaissance dancer in the 1930s and 1940s. She says she performed with some of the biggest stars in showbiz: Sinatra, Gene Kelley, Bojangles Robinson.

But she had never seen herself on film. That all changed when volunteers at a nursing home found a vintage video of Barker and showed it to her for the first time.

Her reaction was priceless, worthy of nearly a million views and counting. Watch the video above to see the special moment.
