Carmen De Lavallade is living proof that beauty, grace, health, and general badass-ness can be a reality at 83-years-old.
The dancer and choreographer proves that and more as the newest subject of StyleLikeU.com's "Ageless Dailies" video series.

Here are a few more gems that will have you crushing on Carmen as well...

1. She basically discovered world renowned dancer/choreographer Alvin Ailey. Carmen met him in junior high school and encouraged him to switch from gymnastics to dance. The rest is (mind-blowing) history.

2. Being a fierce dancer runs in her family. Her cousin, the late Janet Collins, was the first black ballerina of the Metropolitan Opera. #BrownGirlsDoBallet

3. She is married to Geoffrey Holder, the two-time Tony Award-winning actor/dancer/costume designer, who is probably best known for playing the part of Punjab in the 1982 film version of "Annie."

4. The stunning red floral-printed dress she's wearing in the video is one of many ensembles that her husband has designed for her. Talk about marital bliss!

5. Carmen shows no signs of slowing down -- she's performing in a solo show called "As I Remember It" at the end of this month.

Duong is also the founder and artistic director of PAO, a movement collective interested in how war is inherited in the body. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford University, Duong is currently living in Brooklyn and pursuing a master's degree in performance

It is a story best told through movement as it is through the bodies of survivors that trauma due to chemical warfare continues to thrive. We are interested in the remnants that remain in the wake of war; how communities remember themselves and their histories; how we journey forward.

Original score composed by Xinh Xo

Dancers: KK Apple, April Dayok, Natalia Duong, Morgana Phlaum, Corinna Phillips, Kaley Pruitt, Maho Shimpo, Winnie Wong, and Krista Zegura
