Being Inspired by Others

"Dance is bigger than the physical body. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that; you're dancing spirit."

--Judith Jamison

Being Alvin Ailey II

President Obama and First Lady Michelle had a "date night" last night at the Kennedy Center where they saw the great Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. "Fix Me" is a universal cry. Enjoy!

Being Inspired by Others

"Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people."

--Alvin Ailey

Being Alvin Ailey

This is a tribute to the great choreographer, Alvin Ailey.



This is also for the countless others who appreciate dance, music and art, all of which transcend space and time.

Love is this transcendence, a power that impacts the here and now.

Being Design-Focused II

Tom Peters writes this about design: "Design is the No.1 determinant of whether a product-service-experience stands out--or does not."

Performance also determines what stands out and what doesn't.

Think:

Madonna
Alvin Ailey
Jamie Dimon
Michael Jordon
K.D. Rowlings
Tom Peters
Cirque de Soleil
Martha Graham
Tiger Woods

Performance requires people who know how to execute under pressure and within deadlines; they know how to seize the moment.
