I've mentioned Frankie Manning several times this week. And I think his story is remarkable not just because he was around in the 20's and still teaches dancing today, but because when he originally left the dancing troupe in the fifties, he also took 30 years off to work at the Post Office and raise a family. Which means he's spent more time on career hiatus than I've spent breathing.
So what's the rush?
