Alvin Ailey was an incomparable dancer, a forward-facing visionary, and one of the most significant choreographers of the 20th century, whose work changed the course of modern dance forever. His legacy lives on today.
Dance is for everybody. I believe that dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.
