About this title

Synopsis

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is among the premier modern dance companies in the world. One of the hallmarks of an Ailey-trained dancer is a supremely versatile, strong, beautifully toned body-the result of deep immersion in an array of dance and movement techniques. Now there's a dynamic exercise book that brings those benefits home.

Alvin Ailey Dance Moves! draws from the many disciplines taught at The Ailey School-from classical ballet to West African and Indian dance to yoga. Created for people of all abilities, the program helps to improve posture and increase strength, stamina, flexibility, and muscle tone, relieve aches and pains, and support relaxation and well-being.

Featuring leading dancers from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ailey II, and students from The Ailey School in stunning color photographs paired with lucid, step-by-step instructions, the program is easy to learn and easy to stick with. Alvin Ailey Dance Moves! is for anyone who loves dance, and for everyone who is committed to personal health and wellness.
