Alvin Ailey made sure every child had a place to dance. He dedicated his program to not only shows, but as teachers and role models to 10,000 students. Alvin Ailey has brought this dedication to classrooms, communities and the lives of people in the community. Alvin Ailey is thanked, appreciated, admired, and inspirational to the many people he gave a chance to. He has gave me a reason to improve myself. He has taught my dance instructor, who has taught me how to express myself. His work will always be remembered and spread through the world.
