    Fang yi shu is the greatest graham dancer. I am surprised that she wasn’t invited to perform for a season with the Graham Company. I have heard from a very reliable source connected with the Graham Company that Diana, herself, contacted the Graham Company.

    It takes many years to train a graham dancer. It took a long time for the enormously gifted Alicia Graf to learn the Horton and Graham technique when she joined Alvin Ailey. Alicia Graf was a classically trained dancers. She will be performing St. Petersburg at the beginning of July with the Ailey Company.
