If you're going to interview special people then you have to start right at the top right? I met this person almost ten years ago. Coincidence or not, it happened in Italy. Dance icon Desmond Richardson was teaching at a workshop in Tropea that I used to attend and lend a hand as a translator for the teachers who, for the most part, were American. Desmond has been a great inspiration for me ever since, but, without a doubt, for a whole generation of dancers and artists around the globe.
