The Paul Taylor Dance Company is working to spark an interest in dance among New York City children with a new program.
The late dancer Paul Taylor left behind a rich legacy when he died four years ago at the age of 88.He was deeply committed to education, and The Paul Taylor Foundation continues to work with New York City's public schools to introduce young people to the magic of dance.
I met first with Jody Arnhold who explained that, "the idea was pretty simple: bring school children to Lincoln Center to see Paul Taylor Modern Dance, to put them in a seat in Lincoln Center to see a great, American dance company." One student told me, "getting free tickets to watch a show opened up my eyes to this new style of dancing," and 12th grader Lyric Penland added it was, "a way to feel free." Ariel Strochkova added, "I went with my mother and we were so excited to see it. We were just like it was awesome."
Ines Cottin Ahmed singled out its diversity. "That's really what I resonate with because I'm diverse, and I also love how it's very familial."
