  • Looking forward to the day when a young dancer/choreographer talks about this as being an inspiration to their life.

    Thank you Marguerite for passing the torch.  And thanks MoveTV for sharing these "inspirations."

  • Thank you Move TV and Marguerite for sharing this inspiring story.  To be driven by the passion of dance is anything but simple.  But it is simply beautiful.

  • Wow, thank you for sharing Marguerite.  How well I understood Agnus.  Started dancing very late in life,and I definitely didn't have the dancer's body, but thank God my passion for dance is greater then the reality of my short comings.  You said something so profound.... You said you stopped worrying about what you don't have but just to keep pushing forward.  It may seem crazy at my age and body style, but thank you, cause I'm just going to keep pushing forward.  I just love you!  You inspire me! 

  • Thank you Marguerite....what a lovely, moving, human story ... you have heart.  Thank you for sharing that so simply.

    While a youth, Derricks went to the National Ballet School of Canada and admired Karen Kain. It has been noted that Derricks was behind the choreography of two films similar in their subject matter, Striptease (1996) and Showgirls (1995).Some of her more noted works include the Austin Powers films, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), Donnie Darko (2001), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and Spider-Man 3 (2007). After the first Austin Powers film, she became famous and increased her reputation with an advertisement for The Gap, "Go Go." During one interview, she said that with regard to her newfound popularity, "it all started with Mike [Myers]," (the star of Austin Powers) and added that "Go Go has changed my life."

    In 2006, Derricks choreographed Sister Act the Musical, which had its world premiere at the Pasadena Playhouse. At the turn of 2009, she served as the choreographer for director Kevin Tancharoen's remake of the hit movie, Fame (2009 film).
