- "Ever since I have started dancing in High School, Linda Celeste Sims has been my first love in the dance world. Not only is she stunning, but to see someone's passionate soul flourish through their movement EVERYTIME she performs, is not only a talent, but a rigorous gift. I was extremely excited after seeing her perform in an Ailey gala and was even more excited when I realized that she graduated from the high school I had been currently attending! I view Sims as a goddess on stage. She understands time and space. Her acute musicality and strength are only additional elements to her performance attributes. Out of the entire Ailey company, I feel that Sims is the most apt to a virtuosic quality. Her versatile qualities should make her a dream for many choreographers. Naturally beautiful and gifted, her passion is helped by dancing with the man she is in love with for life. There isn't anything like dancing with the one you chose for life."
- Linda Celeste Sims performs "Fix Me Jesus" from Alvin Ailey's Revelations with her husband, Glen Allen Sims.
