The Ailey School, the educational wing of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, is offering a summer workshop on the pedagogical techniques of dance pioneer Lester Horton who died in 1953. Before his death, Horton created and taught a modern dance technique which was complex, "anatomically corrective" and organized. He trained both Alvin Ailey and Carmen de Lavallade and dancers are still trained by his successors.
Horton may be gone, but, because they were transmitted to others, his pedagogical techniques and insights are still available.
You can access that artistic legacy for just $1175.00, which seems like a lot but is probably a bargain.

Meta-textual: Although he was the Buddha's longtime companion, Ananda did not achieve enlightenment until after the Buddha's death.
Tradition says that as the Buddha lay dying "Ananda was weeping. He walked away, to hide his tears."
But the Buddha comforted him saying:
"Do not grieve, Ananda, do not despair. Remember my words: from all that delights us, from all that we love, we must one day be separated. How can that which is born be other than inconstant and perishable? How can that which is born, how can that which is created, endure for ever?"
