REVEALED: BEHIND-THE-SCENES BEAUTY SECRETS OF ALVIN AILEY DANCERS

Dancers – especially those who are part of professional troupe such as the award-winning Ailey II – are a dedicated and talented crew. They live, breathe and sleep dance whether auditioning or on tour.
It’s tough work (as any Dance Moms’ fan will attest) and only a handful will rise to that upper echelon.
