5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Tribute to an American Original, January 2, 2005
This review is from: Ailey Spirit: The Journey of an American Dance Company (Hardcover)
My only "complaint" with this book is that the compelling photography kept distracting me from the text! I finally gave up and leafed through all the photos first, then went back to read the text, which provides a good overview of the company's philosophy, founding spirits and various major dancers. Highly recommended for lovers of dance or photography.

I have always loved dance, and especially Alvin Ailey! This book is wonderful! The photographs are vivid and beautiful. For those who have not experienced this dance company, this is a nice introduction to it's history.
Love it!
