Today is a special day as my partner and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary as well as our three-day retirement anniversary. To mark this occasion, we are heading to the theater to watch “A Dancer’s Life,” which tells the story of Chita Rivera. The show was amazing and we were both impressed by Chita Rivera’s performance. She is an American actress, dancer, and singer who is widely recognized for her work in musical theater. In December 2002, she became the first Hispanic woman and the first Latino American to receive a Kennedy Center Honors award. She was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.
