"I started when I was about 30, I think," Furst told ABC affiliate WPBF-TV. "That's when I had a shape."

Furst was a hairdresser by trade, but says she made extra money on the side by dancing in the salon where she worked. She also danced for customers at private parties in their homes.

As for her love of belly dancing now, she credits her hobby for her long-lasting health.

"I don't feel 100," Furst said.
