Defrantz's Study...is Not The First Book About The Protean Ailey, Who Was Born In Hardscrabble Texas In 1931 And Died In 1989 After Creating Close To 80 Works.

My Feelings About Myself Have Been Terrible.

Making Dances Is An Act Of Progress; It Is An Act Of Growth, An Act Of Music, An Act Of Teaching, An Act Of Celebration, An Act Of Joy.
