Yes!...Black Ballet History... 

...is 'So Vivid!'


We remember, and say the name...




...Jasmine Perry!   





Jasmine has traveled to 

many world ballet centers to collaborate 

and display her well-known Ballet skills. 

Many are surprised by her 'connectedness' 

and fluidity of motion. Jasmine is also 

'doing her thing' on the east and west 

coasts! Her movements make me feel 

more powerful just by watching!



Jasmine also happens to have a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Curvilinear!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Dwight Rhodan!

 


Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Fantastic!'



We now remember, and say the name...



...Dwight Rhodan!


Dwight's rise to his zenith can only be 

described as 'meteoric!' Of course he 

began dancing at 17, studying at 

Dayton Contemporary Dance 

Company! He quickly made Principal 

at Alvin Ailey American Dance 

Theater. Media Producers constantly

hound him to appear in their Films, 

TV Specials, Commercials, and 

Documentaries! It seems that he has 

worked with everyone who was 

anyone. Creating and choreographing 

more than 80 Ballet Works...what else 

can be said! 



"He's Dynamite!"



Dwight has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "On Stage!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Claudia Monja!

 


Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So High Powered!'


We remember, and say the name...




...Claudia Monja! 



Claudia is extra-supple and extra-articulate 

and extra-technical...and...extra-attractive! 

She doesn't even have to stand in line at 

exclusive restaurants, she's so popular! 

Speaking of nourishment, Claudia is good 

for the sight...and good for the soul! And 

the next time she's in town, I'm front 

row center!




"She's The Best Ticket In Town!"



Claudia has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "The Sun!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Amanda Morgan!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Far Away!'



We now remember, and say the name...







...Amanda Morgan!





Amanda is making great news all over the 

place! She studied hard at DT Northwest 

and NWBallet School, doing year rounds 

and summer intensives at Boston Ballet 

and especially Alonzo King LINES Ballet. 

Amanda then joined Pacific North West 

Ballet and quickly rose to prominence 

as the First Black Soloist there. But she 

is making an even greater impact 

choreographing at Film Festivals, and 

featuring her own films at the Northwest 

Film Forum. Thank her for the birthing 

of the Velocity Dance Center. Amanda 

also created the very popular Seattle 

Project, which premieres up and coming 

controversial filmmakers!


 


"She's Busting Down Ceilings All Over

The Place!"





Amanda has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "The Way!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Geoffrey Holder!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History... 

...is 'So 'The Hottest Ticket In Town!''


We remember, and say the name...








...Geoffrey Holder!


First, this Man, a strong 'Lover-of-Life,' who was 

also very good at dancing and acting and singing, 

was many parts a brilliant Showman! We knew 

this and he always satiated our deep-throated 

entertainment appetites! Each of his big-stage 

performances started out with great airs of 

anticipation, like the audience members couldn't 

believe it, and that they were the luckiest people 

in the world, because they were going to see 

the 'Great One,' live...right now, to give them 

more than their money's worth! 

Some observers still can recount, with 

amazement, what they witnessed first hand!



"You Got People Still Talkin'!"



Geoffrey also happens to have a...'Huge'...mid-upper-lip

called "Look!"
