Pearl Primusās first major choreographic work was āAfrican Ceremonialā in 1944. Her dance āThe Weddingā (1961), created for Alvin Aileyās company, reflected her travels in western Africa. Her dances "Strange Fruitā (1945), "The Negro Speaks of Riversā (1944), and āMichael, Row Your Boat Ashoreā (1979) spoke to Black American life. Her performance āHaitian Play Danceā (1947) was a more playful dance.
