...Aminah L. Ahmad!
Aminah got her 'Stars and Stripes' the ol'
fashioned way...she earned them! She
also possesses the very rare bragging
rights to being one of the Founding
Members and Principal Dancers of the
Dance Theatre of Harlem! After
refusing an early recommendation to
'switch out of Ballet,' she put on her
seat belts and drove nonstop to be the
best! After her auditions improved
with every try, Radio City Music Hall
Ballet Company quickly snatched her
up and made original roles for her!
Aminah is also credited with introducing
to the world of Ballet legging tights that
matched closer to her own African
skin colour!
"Your Performances are Addictive!"
Aminah has a mid-upper-lip
Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)
called "Always First!"
The Founder of Black Ballet History Month,
Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.,
USC Dental School Graduate,
and elucidator of elatus labialis wingeulus.
