A highlight of Gospel Fest was the dance performance of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation Dancers under the direction of Ms. Ruby Streate. These fifteen or so dancers are part of the Healthy Steppers, a group of seniors who meet several times a week for dance and movement classes (that Ms. Streate teaches) at the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center. The oldest dancer among them was eighty years old. Their performance was wonderful. These two words best describe them: inspirational, elegant. I'm so glad they were able to come and share the evening with us. (Ashley and I found it difficult to get good pictures at this event, but we tried!)
