The Carmen DeLavallade Award for Dance is named after the incomparable Carmen DeLavallade, and was created as an international acknowledgment, to honor her immeasurable contribution to dance and to the personal development of dancers and people of color. Her artistry and humanity, like the recipients, has inspired generations of dancers and non-dancers alike; and for each of them, provided a guiding light that supported dreams of ever having a career in dance. Her style, coupled with her refinement and dignity, speak volumes of history while also pointing the way to the future. The international award acknowledges people for their outstanding commitment to others and embodiment of the characteristics that made Carmen who she is.
