Whether young or old, attending your first baseball game is cause to bust out some moves.

That's exactly what Virginia McLaurin did.

The 107-year-old attended her first game on Thursday as a guest of the Washington Nationals to celebrate "Black Heritage Day" at Nationals Park. Manager Dusty Baker - the only active African-American manager - presented her with a customized jersey, and she danced with joy. She also received a "first game certificate" from the Nationals, according to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post.

It's not the first time McLaurin's made headlines for her dancing. In February, she got to meet President Barack Obama, and danced with him in the White House.
