Alvin Ailey on Times Square Showing How It's Done - and why '67 was a good year

FLIGHT VS HEIGHT.

This commanding sight of an Alvin Ailey dancer doing a winged airborne split right in the middle of Midtown traffic at 43rd,7th Avenue & Broadway in Manhattan's Times Square is a modern testament to the legacy of dance on theater. A 20th Century Icon to leave with the generations to come, when they start thinking of dance schools for their children to attend.

And while the 1990s and 2000s brought us these images, there was a lot to be said for the decade that started it all, the 60s. It brought us beauties like Diahann Carroll to look at when the scene was getting madd steamy. An Icon of 60s cinema indeed.
