Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Louis Johnson!

 


Yes!...Black Ballet History... 

...is 'So Notorious!'


We remember, and say the name...




...Louis Johnson!




As a young lad just starting out, Louis 

probably knew that he was going to go 

further than just dancing Ballet! Even 

as he was 'learning the ropes' from other 

teachers and mentors, with him 

following their choreographic direction, 

he had to feel in the back of his mind 

that he would process the next moves 

differently and more in line with his 

methods of progression. The  instincts 

of his interpretations turned out to be 

very popular because Dance Companies, 

Broadway Producers , Filmmakers, 

and more, came incessantly knocking 

on his door!  




"Sure, I Can Help You, But You'll Have To Stand In Line!" 




Louis also happens to have a mid-upper-lip

called "Visions!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Candace Veecock!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

is 'So Spring Forward!'



We now remember, and say the name...



...Candace Veecock!     




Candace is 'On Fire!' She was coveted 

at an early age by Canada's Ballet Jörgen, 

where she gorgeously performed 

handfuls of original works to thunderous 

applause!...Including their first 

Nutcracker! She has danced all across 

Canada, even at the picturesque 

Banff! 



"You got my Vote, Sugar!"




Candace also happens to have a 

gorgeous mid-upper-lip

called "That One!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Kimberley Ho-Tsai!

 


Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Suspenseful!'


We remember, and say the name...






...Kimberley Ho-Tsai!   





Kimberley's Mind 

and Body were cast from the cauldron 

fires of strong and exhausting practices 

over years and more years! But when 

she performs for us all...it is her Spirit 

that luminously radiates! Her body and 

its motions show how they are 

subservient to her whims and her wills. 

These physical forces which she has 

elegantly mastered indeed prove her 

'Connectedness with the Supreme!'   






"Going Through The Motions Dictated 

By The Heavens!"





Kimberley also has a mid-upper-lip

called "Streaming!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Joseph Sissens!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So In The Wind!'


We remember, and say the name...





 ...Joseph Sissens!





Mr. Sissens has the world clamoring for 

more of his professionalism! He's 

endearing, humble, and compassionate, 

but on stage, he's bold, cocksure, and 

does moves in ways that others find 

hard to duplicate! And his smile is so 

ensuring and genuine that, if he were 

a villain in a play, you would want 

him to win! He's doing the right things 

in the right places and at these right 

times! That's why his shows are 

always sold out!





"People Rush The Stage To Get His Autograph!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Lauren Philson!



Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Stratospheric!'



We remember, and say the name...







...Lauren Philson!




Something tells me that Lauren is only 

beginning to understand how deeply-graced

and operatically-sychronized she is! She 

sees, she does, she conquers! This 

Eye Candy enthralls with her every next 

step! Lauren oscillates harmonically with 

the frequencies that Mother Nature lends 

to Ballet Phenomena! I missed her last 

performance and I told myself that it 

would never happen again!




"Enjoy The Gravy Train Coming!"



Lauren also happens to have a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Treasure!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell!

 


Yes!...Black Ballet History... 

...is 'So Moldable!'


We remember, and say the name...






...Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell! 




Linda-Denise walks the walk and talks 

the talk and leads by shining example, that

...not practice...but perfect practice...

makes perfect! She exudes the rhythm 

of Ballet when she speaks, and laughs 

and gesticulates! Linda-Denise 

environmentally rewrote her DNA and 

RNA to exactly match the 

chromosomes of Ballet! Now, as she 

instructs the next generations, 

the positioning touch of her hands on 

her students has an electric effect, 

and they listen and move with an almost 

hypnotic cooperation!


                                                                                                        


Linda-Denise has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus

called "Purpose!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Susan Lovelle!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

is 'So Rarefied!'



We now remember, and say the name...




...Susan Lovelle!



Susan danced from the many stages straight 

into the hearts, minds, and 

memories of audiences 

across the world! As one of the Founding 

Members of the extremely-popular Dance 

Theatre of Harlem, the viewing patrons 

knew of her excellence and didn't want 

her to stop! Her repertoire encompassed 

too many to mention, okay, I'll mention 

Concerto Barocco,  Wings, Manifestations, 

Breezing...that's enough for now! Susan is 

now choreographing cosmetic surgeries 

and more, after graduating from 

Columbia Medical School!



"Catch Me, Susan, I Feel Faint!"



Susan also has a mid-upper-lip

called "The Coming!"
