It wasn't until Dwight Rhoden handed her a check for her first performance with Complexions that Hope Boykin realized it was possible to earn a living from dance.
Hope Boykin, a dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, joins Chris Glorioso to talk about one of Alvin Aiely's newest pieces, "Odetta," debuting during this year's winter season.
Who else could be Odetta? Ailey powerhouse Hope Boykin graces Matthew Rushing's latest.
Hope Boykin glides into a studio on the 6th floor of the Ailey building effortlessly in a pair of Red Bottom stilettos, as if that same pair of feet had not dances Ulysses Dove's Vespers and Rennie Harris' Home at the City Center less than 24 hours ago.
If you've seen Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform in the last 12 years, odds are you've been mesmerized by Hope Boykin.
In honor of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's winter season, from Nov. 28 through Dec. 30, writer Harry Hurt III traded slacks and loafers for tights and ballet slippers in order to experience Ailey's magical vision for himself.
This dance group is a historic troupe hailing straight from the hip streets of New York City. Ya'll know I may be a Betty, but my blood runs deep with Northern Jersey blood, so I was immediately intrigued, especially since I do love a good musical performance.
Hope Boykin: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater - After graduating from The Ailey School, I auditioned for the company four or five times before I was hired. I wouldn't say I was discouraged, but I did really want the job.
Music and dance share center stage at this year's performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, which celebrates 50 years at the Fox Theater Feb. 19-22.
