Dancers Delight 2009

I want to say a big thank you to Yann, who runs DANCER DELIGHT. He called me to thank me for getting him into dance. He is doing a big dance event on the 1st of November for Black history month acknowledging choreographers who have had a big influence on where dance started and where it has been going. Such as Kenrick, Tony Touch, Shae, Dre, Dwayne, Dwan/Cobe-be, Busta, Michelle and Dion to name a few.

When you see how hard it was just to get a gig before, to now seeing great acts such a flawless, Diversity get acknowledgement for their art. Its great to hear someone recognise the hard work that went in to making dance groups a lifestyle rather a part time gig or something you do one a week for fun. I have been teaching for many years and have taught a lot of people who have gone to be very successful dancers, models, choreographers and musicians. But rarely get a thank you. So thank you Yann for acknowledging my part in the way the dance industry has developed over the last couple of years.
