Sun City Aliante Steppers from North Las Vegas, Nevada, is not your typical dance team. According to Margo Young, the Director of the group, they are an adult Senior Dance group ranging in age from 57 to 87. They perform for charities and special events in Las Vegas and throughout the State Of Nevada. They love giving back to their community and producing shows for special charities.
In Margo’s opinion, the main thing that separates her dance team from other dance programs is that they are a non-profit group and all classes are free. Additionally, members of this group are responsible for the cost of costumes. They hold fund raisers such as garage sales to help with the cost.
Margo’s proud of the fact that she started the group 10 years ago and now they are the Official Dance Group for the Ms. Senior Nevada Pageant held every year at the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas. Also, last year they won three gold medals in the Dance category at the Senior Olympics.
One thing that Seniors know about dance that younger dancers still have not learned is that anybody can dance and enjoy movement no matter how old they are. Dancing does not have to be perfect, just enjoyable.
Her goals this year are too continue and add more seniors to their program and continue with their charity work.
Margo was proud to claim the title of Ms. Senior Nevada 2009 and to represent her State of Nevada. Also, she still owns the title of Miss Showgirl International 1971. She was a professional dancer most of her life and still dances with the ladies. Her oldest member is a gentleman (Yes, they have one) who is 87 years young. All of her dancers are from so many varied and interesting lives and have never danced professionally; You can check some of their numbers out on Google or YouTube under Aliante Steppers.

I met Margo Young when we ran for Ms Senior Nevada in 2009. It was my pleasure to meet such a charming and talented lady who I have come to know better through the years. Her dance group is entertaining and professional and I always enjoy seeing them around Las Vegas. By the way, I have the distinct honor of being Ms. Congeniality 2009.
Love you Margo
It was my pleasure to be introduced to Margo by Pam Baltz. She was a dear friend of Margo. I found Margo to be a lovley, enthusiasts, creative lady with an amazing presence! Margo’s sense of humor, smiles and good cheer even through adverse times, makes her my inspiration!!
I had the pleasure of being Margo’s hairstylist for several years beginning early 2009. It was fun transforming her hairstyle to her winning look for the 2009 pageant and for several more years thereafter. She always floods the room with “sunshine” where ever she goes.
Love you Margo…. miss your creative self. Stay well and beautiful inside and out!!
