I saw them live for the first time in February this year here in Atlanta and it changed my life. As someone who loves and enjoys dance I was amazed with their unbelievable technique, artistry and power of all of the dancing. I hope to see them again next year and the other productions I didn't see
See, you don't need fancy tricks and big leaps to have an amazing piece. Sometimes it's the simplest nuance, or the tiniest tilt of the wrist that makes a piece beautiful. Now this is real dance. :)
I love it how the audience was trying to do their easy props cheering in the beginning and then was just shushed by the presence of the dancers and the display of their artistry.
this is Ulysses Doves' choreography and not Alvin Ailey's although made for AADT. The original casting is way much better, less balletic and more pationate about the work.
now if this doesent reek masuline!!!!! i dont know what does...definatly not talking bout bitches and hoes and sagging your pants to the damn ground....fellow black americans respect this ART!@!!!
I go see them every year at Christmas time. There is nothing else like it in the world. Simply perfect and amazing show. Every year it gets better and better.
@ninamandic10 Lets see u try. It takes strength not to mention blood sweat and tears to reach the level of Alvin Ailey and u r only saying that because ur jealous. the ballet critic lol
Is Alvin in this? New to this. Am trying to find a video of him and his company that would have danced in 1981 or before in New York, New York. Thanks NY for sharing this. :) Songs
@DizzyDancingStar I actually looked it up and answered my own question! If you search for "A Tribute to ALVIN AILEY(Episodes Part.1)" on youtube you can see the whole thing. I believe that you can find "Vespers" and "Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven" as well a few others I was in passing. I just love youtube!

you're right, sometimes the best dancing is when dancers can do all that stuff but don't
WOW! The show's dancers do not even come close to the Alvin Ailey dancers! What precision. I never understood interpretive dance until now! Amazing!
This performance took my breath away! Absolutely amazing dancers!!!!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm SO GLAD that they were invited on the show to perform. I truly hope they will be on again this season.

Beautiful movement

These dancers I am sure study ballet in order to have so much control with this choreography. Study your craft and you shall do great things.
