Part of Us: An En Vogue Fancast | Frank Gatson Jr. Interview, Choreographer, Director & Creative Director

Part of Us: An En Vogue Fancast

We had the opportunity to interview choreographer and director Frank Gatson Jr. During his career, Frank has served as the creative director for many artists, including En Vogue, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, Destiny's Child, Toni Braxton and Beyonce.

Frank is now partnering with the YWCA Southeast Wisconsin to create a reimagined YWCA. The Intergenerational Performing Arts and Athletics Center (IPAAC), a 70,000 square-foot facility, will be located in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and will offer movement & dance, athletics, singing, career expos and state-of-the-art studios.

In celebration of the center's launch, Gatson will host the YWCA Gala and Awards ceremony on Wednesday, December 28, at the Marcus Performing Arts Center to raise funds. En Vogue, Brandy and Luke James will be among some of the artists performing.

During our in-depth conversation, we discussed Frank's dance history and his involvement in IPAAC. We also discuss how he first met Cindy Herron, how he became En Vogue's longtime choreographer, the EV5 reunion, and so much more. This is only part one of our conversation. Keep an eye out for part two when Part of Us returns next year. We dive even deeper into everything En Vogue.
