I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Frankie Manning around 2004 or 2005 at the Atomic Ballroom in Orange County. He was an incredible teacher, and the ladies who got to dance with him to demonstrate moves were absolutely blushing. It’s such a shame that he spent so many years undeservedly in obscurity. I like to think that he knew how much he meant to so many people, but it doesn’t replace what he should have had. A wonderful dancer and a wonderful man.
