Nurturing Greatness

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre is probably the most successful modern dance company in the world. The Ailey School is housed in the same building as the compnay. Even so, it is very interesting to see how closely associated the two are. Intense time and attention are given to these young, unproven dancers, by people who truly know, understand, and nuture greatness in the dance world. What a gift! The author also looks into family and developmental traits present in young people who have exceptional potential in in the areas of sports, academics, and the other arts. It is a quick yet intriguing read.
