“When I took the masterclass with Alvin Ailey, I felt like I was home.”
— Aubrey Lynch
From chemistry to coupé jeté: Aubrey Lynch’s journey from high school science fan to highly successful dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher might not have happened if his first university chemistry class hadn’t been so dry.
Unsatisfied with the teaching method in his science classes, his attention turned to dance. After attending an Alvin Ailey masterclass, Aubrey realized that he could actually earn a living through dance — and had discovered his true calling.
He auditioned to attend the Ailey school... and was immediately accepted.
All that was left was to tell his parents that he was dropping out of university to pursue a dance career. It wound up being the best decision he ever made.
Among many other accomplishments, Aubrey became an original cast member, dance captain, associate choreographer, and eventually associate producer of the Tony Award-winning musical Disney's The Lion King. He’s appeared in countless ads, music videos, and movies, and has been coaching, training, and mentoring dancers of all ages for over three decades.
This conversation is wildly inspiring — tune in to hear Aubrey discuss his experiences as a gay black man in 1980s New York City, how he led the miraculous transformation of a community dance program, and why he wants people to never stop following their dreams.
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll discover:
>> How Aubrey built up the Harlem School of the Arts into a vibrant, essential community program with over 400 students.
>> The tools Aubrey uses to help children imagine a future where they achieve their dreams.
>> The need to awaken the left side of your brain as a creative.
