{"product_id":"alvin-ailey-2","title":"Alvin Ailey","description":"An informative and inspiring biography of Alvin Ailey, the great African-American dancer and choreographer, created by TheNew York Times bestselling and award-winning duo Andrea David Pinkney and Brian Pinkey.\n\nSince he was a young boy in Navasota, Texas, Alvin Ailey loved to stomp his feed and clap his hands to the music of the True Vine Baptist choir. Later, he learned how to dance. He spent some time with the best teachers of the era and eventually started his own modern dance company, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.\n\nThis is the story of Alvin Ailey's life—a life that left its imprint as much on the history of the American people as on the history of modern dance.\n\nDon't miss the other Great Black Performers biographies:\nElla Fitzgerald: The Tale of a Vocal Virtuosa\nDuke Ellington: The Piano Prince and His Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0786810777\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0786810777.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pinkney, Andrea|Pinkney, Brian\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
