Tonight and tomorrow we will celebrate and remember Niles Ford, my dearest dance partner of 19 years and close friend. Niles passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack on January 14th. My heart goes out to Jenny Taylor, his wife, and his sons Isaac and Malik. I personally will miss him more then I can even express. I have been so lucky to have shared so much with him. The greatest collaborator ever. R.I.P
