It was honor to meet Darrin Dewitt Henson , a true Dance Mogul in his own right. Its very rare that African Americans are celebrated in the arts, but Darrin’s accomplishments in Dance and film cant be denied. We look forward to honoring him and others that have contributed to images of success that our youth can look up to.

Darrin has choreographed music videos and concerts for the hottest star around like Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, MVP, Prince, Britney Spears, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, the Spice Girls , New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys and many more.Henson’s most recognizable dance routine by far is *NSync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye”. His video, Darrin’s Dance Grooves, has also proven successful with over 3 million copies sold.Henson is also trying to get more involved in the community. Darrin wants to inform everyone that working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be a chore. It can in fact be lots of fun! Most people don’t consider ‘dance’ to be an excellent form of exercise. Along with changing their eating habits, dancing can definitely be the remedy to loosing weight and getting in shape. Darrin wants to assist people in achieving their goal by showing them that they can “Get in the Groove and into Shape”. He wants to share this information with as many people as he can and be instrumental in getting them to “livet” as opposed to “diet”.  Darrin is currently gearing up for the release of his new Dance film “The Hotel”, which he stars and directs
