When living in New York, I would receive as a birthday present every December, tickets to a performance of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. The event was always trans-formative.
“You must enjoy every moment of this,”
Judith Jamison
Congratulations to Judith Jamison, who has done an incredible job and to everyone who is in involved with this wonderful dance company.
