Barbie Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Doll

I bought this doll to add to my daughter's collection. It was extra special because I was able to see the Alvin Ailey dancers that year. It is a wonderful keepsake.

I was browsing in Big Lots and saw this doll and decided to see if I could find her cheaper online (NOT) and went back and purchased her. She is gorgeous, I have been looking at her over and over because I can't believe how beautiful this doll is. It was a very lucky find for me. I collect Black Barbie dolls that are unique not just any old Black Barbie, but special ones such as the African Princess series and the Holiday Barbies and this one is just as special. A great buy.

This is a beautiful doll with the loveliest Barbie dress I have ever seen. My nieces have now fallen in love with the "Wade in the Water" song on YouTube.

I actually brought the Alvin Ailey doll from Walmart for $[...]. I just happened to be in the toy section and spotted this gorgeous replica of an Ailey women dancer; I snatched it up immediately. This doll is an accurate depiction of the grace and elegance of the Modern Dance Company. They even pointed her toes. I love it!

I started collecting African-American dolls, about ten years ago. To date I have about 15-20 dolls.
While looking at the dolls on Amazon, I was thrilled to see the Alvin Ailey American Theater doll. It is an amazing replica of the female dancers of Revelations.
The only things missing are the floppy hat and the fan.
I am so very pleased with this doll.
