2016 The Dance Project Convention Faculty

"Alvin has been a great asset to my studio. He has enriched the lives of so many of my students. He has encouraged the development of their courageous and creative spirit in every class he teaches. He inspires them to make intelligent and insightful decisions about their movement. He nourishes and guides them away from their comfort zones and along the path to powerful change and growth. His choreography is beautiful and moving. He really tries to honor who the dancer is and their individual abilities when creating a piece for them. Alvin is reliable, trustworthy and hard working. He is kind, charismatic and quite brilliant. I am so thankful to have him as part of our guest faculty. I cannot thank him enough for all that he does for the dancers he works with. They love him and I truly feel he cares about their growth and development. Thank you Alvin!"
