What a blast from the past! Did a show with him in '97 in Arizona. He was 17 and Mr. Dance at the time. What a sweet kid. There was no doubt he would go on to do great things with his dancing! Ailey is the perfect company for you, my friend :)
Look at those pirouettes!! Wow. Just wow. Incredible dancer. He is obviously so passionate about what he does. That's what really makes an incredible dancer like him.
Clifton's message is genuine and earnestly told, inspiring and beautiful to watch. That is an artist, one who continues to grow and give of his art to the world. Thank you for sharing it with us. We are all richer when we invest in the arts.Many are called, but few are chosen. Cynthia McCranie
Nice how he inspires youngsters and warns them not to step in the the trap of frustration but taking the eagerness of watching others dance as a learning opportunity.

Gosh, such a beautiful dancer. I have always wished i could do ballet and started teaching myself when i finally realised my parents just simply couldnt send me to ballet school. I admire ballet so much and every single ballet dancer.

he's amazing :) you guys inspired me, ive started training in ballet! ive always felt i was missing out on somthing, and exactly as Clifton said, dance IS that somthing. iloveyouguys
such a powerful dancer!!! he deverses to be a great and famous dancer.... also he is so right about how u cant express your self through words but u can through ballet/dance:) he is 1 of my idols
These words made me believe that can be possible do whatever i really need, because dance it´s all of my live and i won´t let it go so easily. It's hard, but it's not impossible (: Thanks!
i luv you Clifton Brown. I hope to meet you some day to tslk to you about art and dance etc...... Youve inspired me everysince i saw you preform the langston houghs performance for the alvin ailey at cal state. Keep up the amzing work and ill see you in the future. and ps dont leave ailey before i get there!!!!!!!
I know exactly what he means when he talks about that feeling you get when you dance. It's expression, it's freedom... All your emotions come screaming out, saying look at me, acknowledge me and they demand to be felt, in that moment they command your entire body. I know inside I'm a dancer, my soul is a dancer, my heart is a dancer but unfortunately my body is not. I have Arthritis, I've had it since I was born and I'll have it till I die.. I cannot dance, I try, but I can't, and it kills me...
1:29 - 1:33 was insaine....... he's sooo amazing and is so true about how we shouldn't but always do compare oursleves to other dancers. So i will watch the experienced...I'll watch Clifton :)
it would be amazing if you guys do a video about turn-out, how to know or feel if you have the correct turn-out, how to fix it and things like that !! Anaheim ballet rocks!
That leg extension at 1:05 was sexy as shit!! I'm not a dancer [more into other arts; photography, drawing, & painting], but I LOVE watching dancers move so gracefully! It truly is beautiful!
guess whatt!!! this weekend we went to disneyland and when we were driving through.....and i was hoping to see youu guys!!!! and we passed the anaheim blvd and i saw your building!!! i was likeee OMG ANAHEIM BALLET!!!!! i dont live in anaheim and i didnt even know where were you guys and it was soo exiting seeing your building xD
We have chosen to speak with our bodies because perhaps we are not so good with our words.Expressing ourselves but also bringing the poetry of others to live, that is (or was our cause)
is here anybody from Victoria, Canada? I'm from Germany, in the summer vacation I go four weeks to Victoria and I really would like to dance some days there.
like wow he has such control on his leglifts and his jumps.... wish i had the strength to jump that high. the only jumps i can do good are tilts and centers. my faves!!!
