House Dance Fundraiser to Beat Cancer

"House" is a dance style that emerged from the New York City underground club scene.

Legendary House Dancer Marjory Smarth's approach to the dance mixes African, Salsa, Hip Hop to name a few. Her smooth yet physically demanding style is a major original contribution to the US House Dance scene.

Marjory, like most of the early house/hip hop dancers, took her skills from the streets and continued to develop in the club scene. In the late 1980s, she started dancing professionally with various music artists, including Diana Ross, Heavy D and CeCe Peniston, among others. After many dance tours, four documentaries and teaching internationally, she is considered a major figure in the dance community as well as an historian. Today her focus is helping people find their own freedom of expression.

"I just open the threshold, that's all," she says. "They have to find their own eloquence."
