role model for our old age

Anyone else seen the Coldplay video with the two dancers? It came on when I was in the gym today. I shed a tear! Found it very moving. Grace, beauty, skill and strength - there is an old age to aspire to. And I couldn't have done those dance moves even when I was 18!
I wanted to know more about the dancers (it says their names in another link - Spencer and Barbara). Disappointed to discover by Googling that it's old footage from the 1980s. I wonder if there's any chance Barbara's still alive? I'd like to send fan mail. Maybe now they're famous, something will appear.
I wonder if the band picked that footage because they think like me? Or if they just thought (as the reviewers so far apparently do) it was weird and/or amusing?
