Life Lessons From Judith Jamison

I like this inspirational AARP article, with 7 life lessons from dance legend Judith Jamison.  Ms. Jamison, now 80, joined the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1965 and served as its artistic director from 1989 until 2011. The largest modern dance company in the country, Ailey recently honored Ms. Jamison with a special tribute at the start of its 65th season.

 Ms. Jamison's most important point:  Take Care of Your Body -- "I took care of mine as best I could. When you’re older, you can keep it going with smaller movements. Just sitting here, I’m doing contractions and releases, trying to strengthen my core. You won’t be moving as robustly as you used to, but you can still do something."
