From washer woman to slave to queen, this piece sings about the pain of being a black woman, the glory of it, the ecstasy, the grief and our various and sundry deaths. Priceless dance.
Dear Sisters, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What a tribute to life and to Alvin's legacy. Few of you, if any of you, will remember me as part of the Ailey Family, but I am, and so grateful to be. And to Miss Renée, my queen of all times, forever burnished in my youthful mind and spirit - you remain as glorious and regal as you ever were. Peace and love to you ALL and long may our story and our history be told. Thank you thank you thank you.
"Cry" is certainly one of my favorite pieces! This compilation video was awe-inspiring! I loved seeing it from all the different women. Everything was perfect. I really loved how this was put together. Alvin Ailey's choreography remains timeless!
Just beautiful all of the dancers. I am watching it on Mother's Day. What a powerful master piece indeed. The first time I saw it was with Judith Jamison and later with Donna Woods. To all the dancers I say BRAVO! What beautiful filming and editing. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU for knowing that we miss you live and are so happy you are reaching out to us. We are reaching out to all of you and sending love and strength!!!!
I Loved It. Nasha, Danni and Renee It was such an overwhelming feeling of pride and joy I felt seeing you ladies dance and remembering that same feeling I had 20 years ago seeing you guys on stage. Much Love ❤🖤💚
Nothing brings more joy than to see the legends dance🙏🏽 what a beautifully talented artist who put this together!!! Lovely concept, cinematography on point! And a glorious dancer to boot!
King👑 Joe... Thank U for tha DANCE.👣🎶♻️ Legendary Dancer 🌿 I too love the Dance. This is my style of movement in dancing that I work towards to realize & resolve. Cry & release... as a black women has toiled over the eras... laying down burden of holding up generation after generation... preserving one's energy. 🎶♻️✊🏾🍍Peace & Harmony... rest easy ☝️nj-usa
It’s spiritual to me-so stunningly powerful and beautiful. Thank you 💞Thank you 💞Thank you💞. So grateful for this video. I return to it often for solace and inspiration.
I wish there were away to support this beauty after being inspired and moved by the power of these women. How do we "pay" for our tickets? I'd buy a ticket for sure. How to do that now. They need to eat... they are professionals.... .

RIP Judith... This was so beautifully performed by women by all walks of life.
From washer woman to slave to queen, this piece sings about the pain of being a black woman, the glory of it, the ecstasy, the grief and our various and sundry deaths. Priceless dance.

What's disappointing is that there is not one video on youtube that shows Judith Jamison dancing this piece in its entirety. : (
I wish there were away to support this beauty after being inspired and moved by the power of these women. How do we "pay" for our tickets? I'd buy a ticket for sure. How to do that now. They need to eat... they are professionals....
