Gorgeous Tribute to an American Original,
By AfroAmericanHeritage (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
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.
