Help! It's for dance class! URGENT! Alvin Ailey once said, “Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.”
What do you think he meant by that?

I believe Alvin Ailey meant that everybody should be given the chance to dance despite their race or color (or whatever background they have). What is important is their commitment and passion for dancing. Dance performances should also be seen by everyone, whether black or white. It should let people know how dance reflects them and how the "human spirit" flows through different dances.

Explanation:

Alvin Ailey was an African-American in the 1900s who experienced the inequality brought about by segregation of races. He grew up with his mom as force laborers. Luckily, they were able to transfer to Los Angeles. From there, he learned the art of dancing and became a professional in it over time. Soon, he opened the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater which targeted the black dancers. He gave them the opportunity to showcase their talents despite being lowly treated by society. He gave them hope and self-esteem to achieve their dreams.
