Bravissimo Masculine Geometry

There is no debate regarding the late Alvin Ailey's preeminent place in the world of dance: Mr. Ailey was and remains the most talented African American Choreographer in this nation's history.

This is a photo from his troupe's latest offering now playing in Washington, D. C.

It’s beautiful, masculine, perhaps even a little erotic.....but I am an elementary school teacher in Maryland and so my first thought was: "Ah geometry!" I mean, look at the angles! Straight, Acute, Obtuse, even Right!? Way cool!
