Awesome!!!

This book is very well put together. It captures a lot of what a black male dancer is... strong, refined, vulnerable, powerful. At times I wish there was more to say in actual written English, but then that would take away from what these photos convey. My only wish is that I hope to see even more of the diversity that a male dancer, in this case the black male dancer, inhabits.

Excellant photography -gorgeous subjects

This book is beautiful--The grace and movement of the dance is captured in a fluid and electric manor. I highly recomend this book

Gloriously beautiful photographs long overdue.

I came across this book strictly by accident while visiting one of my favorite bookstores. I was amazed at its almost hauntingly dignified beauty, not only in capturing the intensity of dance, but also conveying a remarkable grace to the dancers and choreographers it presents. This book affirms the importance and contributions of African-American men in the world of dance. I fear that sometimes we forget and/or minimize those contributions. "Vital Grace" is a long overdue celebration of magnificent artists. Strongly recommended.
