I will always Love Alvin Ailey and Judith Jamison. The first time that I saw "Revelations" I knew that I was ~Home~ This is Dance Royalty.

[@logicalspirit5358]

I love Alvin Ailey. I cried when I seen it. Reminded of all my strong and reciliant ancestors who built this country. Absolutely amazing

[@fiSoto]

I saw it yesterday with my father. I cried as well, it was so beautiful!!!!!!

[@corl1031]

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.

RIP! I really cry when I first saw a video of them and it was in the early 2000's, Didnt even know they existed until then! And now she just died! I didnt know she was 81! Job well done!

[@JarinaCarvalhoballet]

😥Alway tears! These dances connect deep into the soul. Touched by the divine, thank you.

[@grittykitty50]

i have been privileged to see the great Judith Jamison perform and it is a life-changing experience. it was wonderful to hear her speak about being a part of this iconic group.

[@LostintheTwilightZone]

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.

[@wildsamfierce]

This is literally the best TED have seen! Judith looked like a proud mom at the end and I loved it.

[@paulinedevolder1554]

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.

[@cynthiasmitherman397]

That is one of the best I've seen. I love how the dance tells a story

[@kirakjear9812]

Dance is how I share my soul with the world. No other form of communication quite like it 👌🏻💕

[@Vierotchka]

Likewise music which is a global language. :)

[@CGMaat]

My favorite choreography EVER! JUDITH THE QUINTESSENCE!

[@ashleyfrye6218]

Rest Well, Judith. Thank you for everything.

[@passionkairos]

I miss NYC and the Alvin Ailey Dance Co....Thanks for all those wonderful performances!

[@bluemoon8268]

... 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 ...

[@dellpiemonte5442]

Thank you for the grace and clearly, the hope.

[@susandoerr3896]

Dance can be a wonderful healthy spiritual experience or not. Thank you for sharing. I dance at home to all types of music from all over the world if I like it.

[@richardcomeau57]

@TED thank you for your service. It is invaluable.

[@TwilightDusk-1111Official]

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.

[@suzannewheeler94]

sometimes dancing isn’t only meant to entertain others, but to stand up to something greater than yourself

[@kristenkoyi]

TEARY EYED again. Body movement activism. The passing of the dance torch is moving as well!
