Normally his evenings were spent at Dance Theater’s school, where he managed the pre-professional students. “They’re like, ‘Oh, come on!’”Johnson, a former star dancer, told Garland that she had decided to step down.

He was just being who he was.”Because of the way he died — and the way that he was dancing when he died — Sibley’s body is now an act of resistance. That has much to do with vogue, a language that grew out of the Harlem ballroom scene of the 1960s.
