Music icon Janet Jackson says she has no plans to stop dancing — even as she approaches her 60th birthday.
The pop superstar was honored with the Icon Award at the Gala of the Stars, an annual event organized by Dancers Against Cancer celebrating excellence and resilience in the global dance community. The award was presented by screen legend Liza Minnelli.
“This is such an honor for me and I’m really grateful. I’ve always loved dance — ever since I was five or six, dancing with my brothers around the house. They were my first teachers and choreographers.”
“I want to thank my family for their entire support and love… and I want to thank God for giving me life and allowing me to continue to do what I love and still enjoy. In about six or seven months, I’m going to be 60 years old — and I have no plans to stop dancing.”
Other honorees included Ben Vereen, Debbie Gibson, Derek Hough, JoJo Siwa, Mandy Moore, and Anita Mann, among others. Agency reports
