Gratitude for Michael Shannon

by Karen Krolak

Monkeyhouse lost a great friend yesterday when Dr. Michael Shannon passed away in New York en route from a tango trip in Argentina. Having served on the Board of the Boston Dance Alliance with him for the past two years, I was charmed by his gentle guidance of the organization and his tremendous enthusiasm for all forms of dance.

He had an incredibly generous spirit and his loss will reverberate through many different communities in this city. Our thoughts go out to all his family and friends during this incredibly sad time.

We will miss you, Michael.
