ShowBiz Stories
Apollo theater Broadway Dance

Broadway dancer and master tapper Alde Lewis, tells his personal and true story about his professional journey from Michigan to Broadway.

What a journey!

 

 

My purpose is to be the presence of Almighty God’s Peace in any and all environments

and situations of life.

 

 

I dance because I’m asked to move and create continually in order to inspire by God.

 

I’ve come to accept that’s what truly moves me. 

 

“All else is fluff…”

 

“A revelation was given to me by God back in 2003 that created a paradigm shift in thought and practice. Sitting at my dining room table a thought came across my mind that said, “In the want of nothing, you’ll have everything. Then and only then will you know Me in the fullness of the I Am that I Am!”
