Meet an “Amazing” Who Continues to Dazzle Audiences With her Beauty and Art

Carmen de Lavallade, age 86, will receive the Kennedy Center Honors Award this year for her lifetime of contributions to American culture. Carmen’s contributions have centered around her world of dance: from her gifted work with Alvin Ailey’s dance company as a principal guest performer and as a prima ballerina at the Met, to her choreographic brilliance for many productions, which included her position as

choreographer at the Yale School of Drama.

Most recently, in 2016, Carmen performed in “As I Remember It,” in her home town of Los Angeles. A truly beautiful remembrance.
