'92-year-old Tap Dancer': Casey Niestat's Tribute To His Grandmother Louise (VIDEO)

Here's a very sweet, very simple tribute from muck-raking NYC filmmaker Casey Niestat to his grandmother, Louise, a former Rockette who's been teaching tap classes out of her attic for forty-plus years. Niestat sets up a quiet profile of a devoted teacher, daughter and all-around grand dame. It's not bait for change, like Niestat's other films, but we'll eat all the hats in the office if "92-year-old Tap Dancer" doesn't inspire some spontaneous calls to grandmas.

Aw, gee...this is beautiful.

Nana was a gorgeous lady when she was a youngster and her wonderful heart and spirit keep her just as pretty today.

I'm going to go to bed now and have sweet dreams because this clip has given me such a deep, simple feeling of joy in my heart.

Goodnight, Huffington Post community!

Goodnight, Nana!

Hugs from me,

Kali

My almost 83 year old mother dances at least 3 times a week, teaching the ballroom and more hustles than I can name. I can't keep up with her.

Much respect for this 92 year old lady.
