106-year-old Virginia McLaurin has fulfilled her dream of visiting the White House, where she danced with President Obama and his wife Michelle.

The White House released a video of Ms McLaurin dancing with the Obamas during a Black History Month event.

Ms McLaurin, who was born in 1909 in South Carolina, told the Obamas she "thought she would never live to get in the White House."

Ms McLaurin posted a video on YouTube last year where she said she would love to meet President Obama.

In the video she said she did not think she would ever live to see a black president.
