So... some people seem to be upset I'm not blogging!

Well, hopefully they will be appeased.
Saturday I went into the city to dance with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. They were celebrating their 50th Anniversary! They know how to throw a party! I had front row tickets and they were almost dead center! It was awesome. When I saw where our tickets were, I freaked out because I knew that we would be able to hear them breathe! And it was all FREE.

So, we saw the first performance of the day and then had a 30 min. Q&A session with former members of the Ailey company about their thoughts on Alvin himself.

I bought an awesome shirt!

I took a Horton Modern class, a hip-hop class, an African drumming class and a West African class. It was packed. We were all hitting and bumping into each other, but it was all so warm and familial. If that makes sense?

Look at these awesome cookies that they were selling! They are replicas of the costumes and props that the dancers use in Ailey's most famous ballet: Revelations. My favorite!












Later, we walked from 55th to 12th which, let me tell you, is no light walk. We saw a documentary film 'Fire Under the Snow' about an imprisoned Tibetan Monk. It was very stirring and right up my alley with regards to the attrocities that China is causing and allowing.





Alex, Guess where this photo was taken?
I passed it and knew I had to take a picture. Sorry its not better.
