"..And an Ostrich That Spreads Its Wings"
A woman named Siobhan Burke wrote a review on Asadata Dafora's Ostrich dance, performed by a man named Alvin Ailey. She goes on by saying that the "Ostrich" dance performed speaks to an important time in history when black choreographer for the first time were gaining respect as artists. She states that, "The more you see this dance, the more it reveals". She went on to say that this dance was performed spectacularly, even though it was recreated and restaged.
