DARCEL WYNNE: STAR OF SOLID GOLD
This weeks female role model/woman we would like to grow up to be is the amazing and extremely flexible Darcel Wynne, star of Solid Gold. To witness the amazingness that is Darcel dancing watch the video. To have your mind blown, fast forward first to 2.30 for her interpretation of Irene Cara’s Breakdance. And then straight after, at 3.10, The Pointer Sister’s Automatic. And for your reading pleasure, cut and pasted, word for word, straight from her genius website, Darcel’s biography. She’s still Solid Gold!
“Darcel is best known for her role as principal dancer and star of the hit television series ‘Solid Gold’. Every week for six years, Darcel danced her way into our homes with the finesse, vitality and sensuality of a confident woman. Darcel’s presence on Solid Gold brought a diversity to national television and inspired women, dancers and people of colour to dream bigger. Darcel’s success continued in film and on Broadway with Xanadu, The Great White Hope, Mame, Scrooge, The Last Two Married Couples, Night Shift, Funny Girl and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Today Darcel is an accomplished choreographer, dance and fitness instructor, author, producer and motivational speaker. She is a longtime advocate for using dance and fitness as a medium of therapy, inspiration, transformation and empowerment for women of all ages and backgrounds.
Darcel is currently the director of Funk Fusion, a unique dance company featuring seasoned women ages 30 to 60+. She is the author of Darcel Solid Gold, a memoir of her life behind the scenes of Solid Gold, being married to a legendary Temptation and how she used to dance to heal the wounds of sexual assault and domestic violence and achieved true happiness.”
