Memorable Performances

Dwana says learning "Cry" from its legendary creator was a dream come true. "I was so enamored by Judith, the story, the music, everything," she says. "I just felt like I need to do that piece."

And she says performing it with young dancers Desiree, Whitney, Naja and Liana was a pleasure, as well. "I think it's really important that people my age … bridge the gap between us, because it's not that far," Dwana says. "I still feel the excitement they feel about today. And, I mean, I'm still a little girl in heart. I still love it and I'm passionate about it."

"I'm just so honored to be dancing with her," Liana says. "She's a very big inspiration for me."
