There's a reason why Dick Van Dyke is always smiling. It's because he has come to know the comfort, security, and compassion that only comes once you give yourself over to another human being.

Recently, the iconic actor decided to give back to his fans and post a video of an adorably goofy yet endearing duet, alongside his wife, Arlene Silver. And as anyone with eyes to see can plainly attest — Dick's still got the moves.

Dick Van Dyke: you know him, you love him.

He is one of the most famous men in the world, not only due to his brilliant acting, but because of his amazing dance moves. You can consistently see him trending online just because fans are constantly praising him and celebrating him.

Most nonagenarians are content to live out the winter of their lives in quiet peace and reflection.

Dick Van Dyke, on the other hand, is anything but your average 96-year-old man. Dick made a career out of being a true song and dance man — a fact he still prides himself on even to this day.

This past Valentine's Day, Dick and his wife Arlene Silver decided to celebrate a little differently.

Instead of rehashing tired tropes of flowers and chocolates, Dick and Arlene decided to perform a duet of "Everybody Needs A Lover", accompanied by Arlene's band — The Vantastix.

Throughout the playful and romantic performance, fans are treated to some quintessential Dick Van Dyke moves.

Dick may not be the spring chicken that he once was while filming classics like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but as is plain to see — he can still boogie with the best of them.

On top of that, Dick also saw fit to grace his fans with a generous helping of his soulful crooning.

Dick is living proof that age is nothing more than a number. I can tell you one thing: if I am able to move that way when I'm his age, I'll consider myself to be one very lucky man.

At the end of the day, the greatest joy or happiness any of us can ever hope to experience isn't derived from money.

It is instead, from being able to sing and dance alongside the one that you love.

Long live the dancing king!
