More than 30 years after his death, the influence of groundbreaking African American choreographer, Alvin Ailey lives on — whether at his dance studio in New York City or right here in Omaha, Nebraska.
NOISEmaker, Ashley Salem went to see the new documentary film, AILEY, about the legendary creator, and after spoke to Aaron Gregory, a local North Omaha dancer and choreographer who danced with the Ailey American Dance company (@aaronderellgrooves).
Gregory's personal experiences navigating the intersections of his identity and dance is why he stands committed to creating safe space for African American youth to explore dance and artistic expression at his studio Love To Groove Movement School (@lovetogroovefitness).
