Frankie Manning

Frankie Manning died today. He was just a month away from celebrating his 95th birthday at a huge swing event in New York. I always hoped I would get a chance to meet him or at least take a workshop with him before he was gone. Well, it's too late now. I hope when I'm old, I'm still dancing, doing what I love, like him. And I hope at least a handful of people remember me from my dance classes and think that I gave them something worthwhile.
