An adorable video is going viral this week showing a 72 year-old grandfather perform a tap routine with his 10 year-old granddaughter after she asked him to be her partner for a recital.

When Maeve Jones needed a partner for her tap routine, she turned to her grandfather Bill “Gramps” Jones, who never misses her recitals. Bill was taught the routine during six one-hour lessons in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and once he had it down, he showed the world that age is just a number!

Jaime Jones was very proud as she watched her father-in-law and daughter perform the routine together.

“Maeve and I were talking about how much Bill loved tap, and she asked him to perform with her – the rest is history,” she said. “Bill was definitely not expecting to be asked. He was so happy and accepted the invitation without hesitation. Their performance was quite amazing. Maeve really loved dancing with her grandfather.”

“She shares him with two siblings and five cousins, so having this special time set aside for just the two of them was very special,” Jaime continued. “They share a very special bond through their love of dance.”

Bill is a former teacher, but when he was a teenager, he performed in a tap-dancing quartet known as the Four Flashes. He has certainly enjoyed the fact that his love for dance has been passed down to Maeve!

“I think for many people [the video] brings back fond memories of their own grandparents – these are times to be cherished,” Jaime said. “I could not be prouder of my daughter for thinking of her grandfather and wanting to showcase their love in a dance. They would both love to perform together again, on a grander stage.”
