Remembering Alvin Ailey On This Day: December 1, 1989 Alvin Ailey founder of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater passed away in New York. Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times wrote of Mr. Ailey,“You didn’t need to have known Ailey personally to have been touched by his humanity, enthusiasm and exuberance and his courageous stand for multiracial brotherhood.”If you live in NYC or plan to visit, [The Ailey Extension] offers public classes [dance, yoga, fitness] + it is a beautiful space to practice [windows on all sides, and people like to stop and watch]. “By making dance accessible to everyone, The Ailey Extension embodies Mr. Ailey’s legacy that dance comes from the people and should be given back to the people”. -- source link
