No, this isn't about tango but about a great dancer nonetheless. For many of us "older" tango dancers, swing was our first dance. My first tango teaching job was at Sandra Cameron Dance Center where there were a number of pictures of Frankie Manning, one of the greatest swing dancers ever, Lindy Hop specifically, still dancing and teaching and doing a great job of it well into his eighties. He was an inspiration to many of us, no matter what dance we did and could outdance everybody even at that age. He has just passed on at age 94 but was still dancing and planning to dance at an upcoming festival. Wow! We should all be so lucky. If there was ever a reason to never stop dancing, no matter what dance you do, he was it. Sandra Cameron Dance Center brought in some great dancers over the years, but he had to be the best. Many people will miss him. See the NY Times online article. Charles
