DANCE IS ONE OF GOD'S GREATEST GIFTS FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT

Judith Jamsion
Director of Alvin Ailey Dance Company
50 Year Anniversary

When I was being raised, I was not allowed to dance. It was a sin. Allowed to go to the prom in high school, I wasn't allowed to dance.

Without music and dance in my life I would consider life....well, lifeless.

I love to dance.

I am so grateful that life didn't pass me by without finding that out.

I am entering the last season of my life. And I have long decided dance is a good thing.
