whatever happened to Duane Holland?

I still have video of Duane when he was on the USA Jr. National Team under Hideo Mizoguchi. One of the strongest young gymnasts I’ve ever seen.

Kaitlin found him on the WWW:

Singer, Dancer. Choreographer, Actor, Director

… He competed in the 1991 Jr. Pan-American Games, 1993 and 1994 Portugal Invitational, USA vs. Mexico dual and 1991 McDonald’s InternationalMixed Pairs. …

Duane began his professional dance career at the age of 17, dancing for the first Hip-Hop theater dance company, Rennie Harris Puremovement (RHPM). While performing with RHPM, he also taught at MIT, Stanford University, Jacobs Pillow, University of Utah, UCLA, Monte Carlo Ballet Company, Pennsylvania Ballet Company,Philadanco, Alvin Ailey Dance Theater and Broadway Dance Center.

In 2007, Duane was installed as an adjunct faculty member of The Boyer College of Music & Dance at Temple University, Philadelphia. In January 2008, he was honored to be named the Assistant Artistic Director to RennieHarris Puremovement.

He is currently conducting community outreach programs within the suburban Philadelphia area as well as in conjunction with select universities across the nation. In August 2009, he was installed as an adjunct faculty member of Ursinus College. He is currently in the studio, preparing for his future solo releases.

I looked for about 30sec. No luck.

It was Kaitlin in the comments that found him so quick, Jim.

I’ll drop Mizo a note as to what happened to Duane.
