For acclaimed square dancer Donald Hanhurst, 88, and his wife, Loretta, 85, dancing is not just a shared passion but a lifestyle. And they’re not giving up their favorite hobby anytime soon.

Donald, who’s affectionately known as Don, began square dancing in 1949 and credits the good health and clear memory that he still enjoys to a lifetime of dance.
