Dancing with the Seniors
Dancing with the Stars is in Season 22. Twenty-two seasons of dancing stars and people still love watching celebrities compete, so why not watch an almost 80 year old man dance?

Hank Brunjes is 78 years old and has been dancing all of his life. He was born in Brooklyn and started dancing at age 4. At barely 20 years old he began his Broadway career as an ensemble cast member in Pal Joey. He was also part of the original cast of West Side Story in 1957.
Today, Hank is still dancing as a regular in the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies in Palm Springs, California. He has performed over 200 shows in a year in his seventies! That is amazing! He feels as though he is able to express himself on stage. Just like some people exercise or run to relieve stress, Hank lets everything that is bothering him out on stage. On stage is his “happy place.” He is at home dancing.
Hank loves to dance and does not see stopping any time soon! Maybe we will see him on Dancing with the Stars someday!
