[coralrosemartin]

beautiful...but minutes 1:46-1:49 are aesha ash in an alonzo king ballet and seconds 2:20-2:22 are lauren porter in another alonzo king ballet, definitely not alvin ailey....hmmm....all of these images are gorgeous anyways. dance is incredible

[GumaroArmando]

the gorgeous thing in the chair at about 1:04 is Nycole Ray in choreography for the Dallas Black Dance Theatre by Christopher Huggins...just an FYI

[martinnicole83]

and..... its not in harlem its on like 52nd st. and 8 or 9th avenue in manhattan.

[MySuicideValentines]

Actually, Alvin Ailey predates Alonzo Kings

Lines, in fact, Alonzo trained at Ailey's dance company so Alonzo was influenced by Ailey and not vice versa

[MySuicideValentines]

Ailey's dance company is located in Harlem, but it does have white people and they are far more represented than black people are in regular American ballet companies!

[Jadadaja02]

@MySuicideValentines Alvin Ailey only prerequisite for acceptance was in fact talent because of his early upbringing in Texas and experience of racial inlorerance. I personally agree that is ideology best demonstrates how we (human race) base our attitudes of each other !

[neobrown81]

What lines, what grace. I love this dance company.

[ranjenaaa]

Does Alvin Ailey has white people at all?

[userNAMESareLAME1985]

actually yeah. go to the company website. they have profiles for the dancers....

[smithyrockson]

Beautiful, thanks so much. Great reminder of my time with them in 1997 and 1998 - taking class with some of the best dancers ever.

[footsteppes]

AWESOME!!! A beautiful tribute to one of the three best dance companies in the US (the other two being Dance Theatre of Harlem & the Joffrey Ballet). BRAVO!

The one picture that CAUGHT me was the girl at 1:49. And at 1:59
