Alvin Ailey 50th Alumni Anniversary August 8th-9th

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre founded in 1958,
celebrated it's 50th Anniversary by inviting and combining the alumni dancers with present dancers for a weekend of dinner, performances, and a gala party. Pat Dingle-Killpack had the time of her life, seeing dance buddies, choreographers, and people who've made history in the dance world. Just to be a part of this was a joy. Patricia may even decide to take a dance class again....after marriage, kids and schooling, this passion has fallen by the wayside. It will be interesting and rather funny to take beginner ballet class at the age of 50. (hee-hee-) Pat may cry just like little kids when learning hard movement. Posters of dancers, who Patricia knew and worked with.
In addition to bringing her kids, mom and brother, two church members came.

Patricia, Ralph and Mable. Ralph created a birthday collage for Patricia for her birthday when performing in Canne, South of France. She had turned 23.
