So today is the one year anniversary of the death of one of our most treasured American dancers, Frankie Manning. There has been no other dancer that has truly and without fail inspired me to keep dancing. No matter what I'm into , surfing, fishing or something so contra to dance that when I see video footage of him dancing, it reminds me of the gift of dance that will always remains inside of me. Watch the video clip of "Hellszapoppin". I've seen it a thousand times and every single time I'm just amazed at the just pure talent of this guy. He has the magic of musicality that we will never see again. He thinks he had a great deal of coming out of retirement to teach, well we got the very best part of the bargain.
