Interview: Legendary House Dancer Marjory Smarth

“Fluidity is my thing.  I think I am an earth-bound mermaid. If there were a way to describe the way I dance, I have a lightness to my movement.  Sometimes it’s as if my feet don’t even touch the ground.”
– Marjory Smarth

Originally hailing from Haiti, she grew up in New York City and began dancing in her formative years. Deriving influences from the native dances of her culture as well as from the different styles of street dance and eventually from the clubs, Marjory became a driving force in New York’s dance community.

Aside from performing and choreographing, she taught numerous House Dance classes all over the world, inspiring hundreds if not thousands of future dancers.

To Marjory dancing was about expressing oneself, connecting with one another on the dancefloor and living life to the fullest. She always had the biggest smile, and forever a kind word to say to everyone. She was pure love and light. (www.5mag.net)
