QUEENS PLATINUM JUBILEE BIRTHDAY HONOURS LIST WITH AN 'MBE' FOR ‘SERVICES TO DANCE’
WE LOVE YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU DOLLIE HENRY•MBE View Official Notice: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4084781 |
FOR 4 DECADES, DOLLIE HAS BEEN A SHINING LIGHT AND AN INSPIRATION TO DANCERS, NOT JUST IN LONDON AND THE UK, BUT GLOBALLY. SHE HAS BEEN THE CATALYST FOR THE JAZZ ART FORM HERE IN UK AND BEYOND. SHE’S A RARE TALENT AND A PIONEER AND THIS AWARD IS THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES.
Dollie shares her thoughts ...
"This is all a bit surreal, but I’m blown away by this recognition and to receive it within this special year. I would also like to say - thank you to the person/s who nominated me, iI'm truly humbled and touched. I never thought when I started dancing at 4 years old that on my 60th year of life I would even see a sniff of anything like this … I do what I do because of my passion and love for life through the art of dance and the joy to then share it. It is a gift to receive this kind of recognition, despite the connotation and history behind these kind of Awards which as a person of colour or Black British resonate for me. However, more important is to accept and acknowledge this moment, receive with graciousness and then continue push the narrative forward, continue to do more to improve the pathways. We all have a story to tell and create that can inspire. This is a beautiful acknowledgment and reminds me that the journey has been worth every single dance step, rejection, bad deed received and all the blood, sweat and tears. Here's on for British Black Women in Dance and our beloved art of JAZZ!" MamaD.MBE |
