"​Growing up in Philadelphia, dancing was always a tradition in my family: Cookouts and bbqs with home movies of myself three years old dancing to Mc Hammer and imitating Michael Jackson on my aunt Barb’s patio. I learned to dance from friends and family in my neighborhood. The city’s dance culture really shaped my life because of the history and community Philadelphia has. Things changed for me when I’ve moved to New York City for a Broadway show called After Midnight. I was able to incorporate all of my experiences and skills into that performance. It prepared me for my journey into a new culture or art scene. 
Doing a master class in Philly means a lot to me. It reminds me of why I dance and why I teach. It’s giving and sharing a part of my history, culture, and inspiration for anyone else to learn and pass down." 
-Virgil 'Lil O' Gadson, 2019
