Gwen Verdon was a woman of talent. However, she was unkind and known for her racism. A dear Latino friend of mine, who was a brilliant dancer, auditioned several times for a Bob Fosse Broadway musical but Gwen turned him down because there was already a Black dancer in the show. My friend wasn't or looked Black. He clearly looked Latino. At that time (1980s) one minority cast member was enough in a majority white cast show. During his last audition Bob Fosse showed up to everyone's surprise and when Gwen told my friend again that there was already a black dancer in the show, Bob intervened and say that my friend was one of the most talented young men that he had ever seen. It turns out, that on my friend's first evening performance, the principal dancer got sick and there was no one to replace him. Gwen asked if anyone would volunteer. But no one volunteered because they hadn't memorized his routine. Hesitantly my friend raised his hand, but Gwen ignored him. The cast started shouting give him a chance. Visibly annoyed; she turned to my friend and said: I hope you are not going to waste my time and embarrass yourself. He took to center stage and performed the routine flawlessly. Besides being an extraordinary talented dancer, he was also gifted with an incredible photographic memory. He had auditioned so many times that he had memorized all the step variations of the show. The whole cast stood up screaming and showering him with applauses. Gwen was forced to move him from the last row to front row, elevating him to principal dancer. But she never acknowledged his presence with a simple hello during the entire season. His was preparing to be the next Raul Júlia. He could dance, act and sing. But he left us too soon. My unforgettable friend was among the enormous number of super talented people that we lost to AIDS.
I agree. I think swimming lessons are a top priority, because that can save a child's life. But dance classes are a close second. Dance is a life skill!
Hang in there Donna, two years you will be in one the most spectacular musicals ever produced on the Broadway stage...and you will get a Best Actress Tony! ❤
