Without wasting any time, she got ready to take part in her first competition. Her first appearance was in Los Angeles and what performance it was. The then-62-year-old Greta invested all her energies to stand out from her fellow competitors. Most of her competitors were 18-year-olds. “People kept coming over to me like I was some sort of anomaly, and I realized there was nobody else in my age group doing this,” she remembers.

Greta enthusiastically participated in the North American Dance Championships where she stood second by a one-and-a-half-thousandth of a point. She got a lot of encouragement after stupendous performance. The inspiring victory motivated her to travel the world to compete. She secured five world champion titles in the process.

“I can’t do everything I used to – at my age, you lose muscle memory fast – but I mainly do strength moves. That’s my signature. I can do deadlifts, the splits, a flagpole, where you hold your body out at a 90-degree angle from the pole, and a cartwheel that lands in the splits. When I perform, though, it’s more about the artistry and the story-telling. I leave a piece of my heart behind on that stage,” she explains.
