IN MEMORIAM: Carmen de Lavallade, Iconic Dancer and Choreographer, Dies at 94 NEW YORK CARIB NEWS — De Lavallade’s career spanned more than seven decades and crossed the worlds of modern dance, ballet, theater, film, and television. She began her professional journey in Los Angeles with the racially integrated Lester Horton Dance Theater, where she developed a powerful and expressive style that would later captivate audiences around the world. It was during this period that she formed a close artistic bond with fellow dancer Alvin Ailey, who would become one of her most important collaborators. https://blackpressusa.com/in-memoriam-carmen-de-lavallade-iconic-dancer-and-choreographer-dies-at-94
