« Return to Who are the five most influential dance figures to you?

Eclectic Tastes

I'm not a professional dancer (nor do I play one on television), so I'm just putting down the ones who have impressed me with the way they can move their bodies to their own particular music.

Even so, there are a couple of names here that others might recognize.  Here's my list:

1. Gelsey Kirkland

2. Mikhail Baryshnikov

3. Louise Reichlin (my friend, who danced on Broadway in Coco and Fiddler on the Roof)

4. Jamie Elmer (former dancer, now yoga teacher extraordinaire)

5. The Florida A&M Marching Band (Really!  The only reason I'd watch their football games is to see their halftime performances.)  :-)
