I just finished volunteering all weekend for another Frankie Mannng workshop. He's 93 now and is slowing down a bit but still looks the same. Judy Pritchett gave an interesting presentation of the history of The Big Apple (the dance, not the city) in which she included a film clip of Frankie teaching at the Herrang Dance Camp about 10 years ago. He looked like a 30 year old and was demonstrating some jazz steps with the agility of a teenager. We all had to blink to recall he was 83 at the time. Since his knee surgury a few years ago, he moves much more conservitively now. Still, I'd like to move that well when I'm 93.
