This spry old-timer is Ignacio Aguilar, and he has lived twice as long as some of his classmates. His dance moves may make you have second thoughts, but this resident of Catamayo, Ecuador was born on October 1, 1901, just after the turn of the last century, making him an astounding 115 years old. Ignacio, lovingly called 'Nachito' by the locals, has applied for the Guinness Book of World Records for the title of the oldest living man.

The International Olympic Committee has given the go-ahead for a number of new sports to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. According to CNN, one notable newcomer will be breakdancing. It will be the first DanceSport event to appear at an Olympic Games, having been staged at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires two years ago. The IOC executive board also announced that skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will be featured in Paris, too. Those three events were due to debut at the postponed Tokyo Games. Today is a historic occasion, not only for b-boys and b-girls but for all dancers around the world. Shawn Tay President, World DanceSport Federation
