Gaynell Sherrod Quotations

We have dancers of all ages on stage. I think it's good for the younger dancers to see that.

Dance is hard work, and they're part-time dancers. They're here because they want to be here. It's always a balance act - push, pull back, push, pull back. I like to tap into their will rather than go against their will.

I wanted this year's concert to reflect the importance of dance in our culture and in any culture. Dance is that thing people take with them wherever they go. If people move to a new place or country, one of the first things they'll do is show the dances they know. Dance is almost like their calling card.

I'm sorry, I'm a mess, that was too much but it was uplifting.
