American Anai Espinoza is in the eighth grade. This summer, she took part in a summer dance program called AileyCamp. Each morning, she and other campers would say several phrases together. Her favorite is this: “I am in control.” Espinoza said, “It makes me believe I have the power to choose the right thing.” AileyCamp was created in 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri by world-famous dancer and director Alvin Ailey. About 1,000 students in 10 U.S. states take part in AileyCamp every year. It is a free, six-week program aimed at young people in financial need or who have school, social or family difficulties. In addition to dance, the camp introduces students to visual arts, creative writing, and other communication skills. It also teaches them how to eat well, solve conflicts, and become leaders.
