“A landmark documentary...delineates how virtuosity becomes identity”
- Debra Cash, NPR/WBUR

Quick Reynolds

William “Quick” Reynolds is a New Yorker and self-taught House dancer.  He has an unusual rhythmic sense, riding the longest lines of the musical pulse, purposely staying in tempo, then going off tempo but eventually coming back, exactly on the beat.  The body is always relaxed, and his signature moves are multiple, fast barrel-turns, performed low to the floor, his body making spirals as he inscribes a larger circular pattern on the floor. Reynolds began serious club dancing with his brother when he was 16, learning on the spot, in the clubs.
