When I used to 'club' in Austin a few years ago there was a white haired 
gentlemen well in his 60 who would come in dressed in a a suit and tie 
and just get --DOWN--.  He was very popular as half the club was flyin' 
on disco-biscuits and the hottest women would dance with him because he 
was quite frankly adorable.  It was tough to talk to him because the loud 
music didnt work well with his elderly hearing but the story I heard was 
that his grand-daughter turned him onto the music and he was hooked.  It 
is a great feeling to see such wonderful exceptions to the generation gap!
