Describes the life, dancing, and choreography of Alvin Ailey, who created his own modern dance company to explore the black experience.

From the publisher:
"In their first children's book collaboration, this markedly talented husband-and-wife team offers a warm profile of dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey . . . interwining Ailey's alleged thoughts and conversations with facts about his childhood, his introduction to the world of dance . . . and his founding of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1958".--Publishers Weekly, starred review.
