"Dance can elevate our human experience beyond words," says Judith Jamison, artistic director emerita of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In between performances of excerpts from Alvin Ailey's classic works "Revelations" and "Cry," Jamison reflects on the enduring power of dance to transform history into art that thrills audiences around the world. (Performances by Solomon Dumas, Samantha Figgins and Constance Stamatiou)

I first saw them in college in the early 70s. I had never seen anything like it. It totally blew me away and I have continued to follow them wherever I have lived and always bought tickets to see them whenever they were dancing where I could see them.

Judith Jamison is a legend, her moves around @ are so powerfully emotional and beautifully expressive, without even getting out of the chair. Ailey is incredible, I love how his work fuses the universality of Horton technique with African and American aesthetics. I think Revelations is the most important work of dance of the century. Like, it's has the most recognized and appreciate choreography of the era.

This is a wonderful TED talk. Judith Jamison speaks about her dance career with such passion. She had to have been a really great dancer, too, in my opinion. Because she saus that an observer discovered her at an audition, then you must already be able to dance fabulously. What if this hadn’t happened at all was she just as far along? She made her voice heard through dance, so she says: “If you were black and African American and a dancer, any time between the '40s and the '70s, you had much to say, because your complete voice was not being heard.” This TED talk is really worth watching, even if you don't dance yourself.

... seeing Judith Jamison decades ago with the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe in the Houston Jones Hall was one of the most inspiring moments for me as a dancer myself... another favorite was Sea Shadow by Robert Joffrey Ballet Company ...

maybe I'm new school, but in performing, I usually am required to do a full bow at the end of the performance. I would love to learn that. Such a small stage, that was very amazing.
