I enjoyed taking Eartha Kitt's class 1982 at Eleo Pomare's dancespace......She told me," You are such a bewteeful danseur.!!! What a great body she had especially her legs. Legendary.!!!!!!!!
Great artist that she is, I cherish the memory of reading how she dissed Lady Bird about Vietnam at a "white ladies who lunch" affair. And no one has every played Cat Woman better, fluff role that it was. She always has this firm center and self-knowledge that makes everything she does have lots of influence.
She had the audacity to ask pertinent questions to Lady Bird. The society hens were not going to allow anyone to interrupt the party. Let alone this regal Black woman
For generations, our elders 'made us' stand in front of audiences in segregated schools and in the black church and make oral presentations. Yes, it made us uncomfortable at first, but we learned how to become comfortable speaking in front of any audience. I don't see young parents of today encouraging this. and I'm not sure that's good. Black entertainers of today are standing on the shoulders of extremely talented ancestors who had to endure ridiculous indignities and had to scratch and claw to create opportunities for themselves.
We do recitations at my school, borrowing directly from the Black church. It makes a difference in students' confidence and ability to tackle rigorous work.

Such a legend. I remember being in 5th grade going through so much in life and any video or interview of Eartha would make me happy. RIP Eartha Kitt
I’ve heard that Eartha Kitt actually taught dance to stars but I actually have photos of her teaching dance to little girls.

And the sleazy skank got blacklisted...and deserved it, lol.

Its essential to be pushed out into your comfort zone

This is so true. I was so uncomfortable and now I can speak in front of any audience. It all started at church.
I love her life. Very inspiring...
Could you boost the sound a bit? thanks for sharing.
