This summer I worked as an intern at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. Specifically, I worked for AileyCamp, which is an outreach program designed for low-income students to participate in a 6-week dance intensive. The students participate in classes in West African, jazz, ballet and Lester Horton Technique. I assistant taught and did office work for the camp. While I was in New York, I took classes at Broadway Dance Center. I also worked on my own choreography and filmed pieces I created.
Thanks Athena!
