She taught me how to dance.
Can you just tell us... What do you mean?
So we had this dance teacher named Larry Maldonado.
gay man dance teacher and he ran the dance program at the Boys and Girls Club and he got really sick in the 80s like a lot of people did and
Jennifer is not that much older than me, but she's a little bit older than me.
So she was one of the big girls at the club.
And so when Larry went into the hospital, she started teaching dance.
She was teaching the little girls classes.
So, I mean, if I was like eight, she was 16 or something like that.
So I learned like hip hop and flamenco and like all that.
I learned to dance from Jennifer.
She's never hired me to dance in any of her videos, but I don't know what that says.
I remember right before she left to go off to LA to pursue her dream of being famous.
