(Ballet)
Earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NC School of
the Arts, Mel Tomlinson has danced professionally
with New York City Ballet, Alvin Ailey American
Dance Theatre, and Agnes De Mille Heritage
Dance Theatre to name a few. Choreographer
Agnes De Mille called Tomlinson "the most exciting
black dancer in America". As a tribute from the
United States, Mel was sent to England by President
Reagan to dance at the wedding festivities of Prince
Charles and Lady Diana. His place in history as one of
the greatest male dancers of the twentieth century is well secure.
A man of many talents, Dr. Mel has completed his Doctorate in Theology from Wake Forest University since coming to Rhythm.
