If you read the "About Nia" section, you would know that my favorite dance company is the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. If you know me, you should know that my favorite dancer is Linda Celeste Sims, who happens to be a member of the company. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'd know that I did a post on Linda a little over a year ago.
Linda Celeste Sims has been a member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for 16 years, and she has been without injury for the past 15 years.
Sheyi Ojofeitimi, the company's physical therapist, has said that Linda's regime of body care and maintenance is like that of an Olympian.
Theresa Ruth Howard, a ballet instructor at Ailey, said she has "marveled at Linda's technical consistency and her constant artistic growth." She goes on to say that "when you hear how deeply Linda loves dance, and loves the work of dance, it is amazing. It is only then that you understand where that dedication and commitment come from, and how it creates that consistency that we sit in awe of every time she takes the stage."
So here's my favorite dancer, Linda Celeste Sims, in this great interview. Enjoy!
