Dance Is For Everybody. I Believe That

Racism Tears Down Your Insides So That No Matter What You Achieve, You're Not Quite Up To Snuff.

Defrantz's Study...is Not The First Book About The Protean Ailey, Who Was Born In Hardscrabble Texas In 1931 And Died In 1989 After Creating Close To 80 Works. But It Is Perhaps The Most Comprehensive, Combining Biography, Criticism, The Analysis Of Dance Criticism, And A Sort Of Corporate History, Siting The Now Firmly Established Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater In The International Cultural Landscape.

Everything In Dancing Is Style, Allusion, The Essence Of Many Thoughts And Feelings. The Abstraction Of Many Moments.

To Be Who You Are And Become What You Are Capable Of Is The Only Goal Worth Living.

One Of The Processes Of Your Life Is To Constantly Break Down That Inferiority, To Constantly Reaffirm That I Am Somebody.
