Renowned for its soul-stirring high energy performances, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is one of America's greatest companies. Taking popular music, gospel and jazz and mixing the classical vocabulary of ballet with a contemporary style, the Company of 30 dancers radiate a slick and sassy energy that is purely infectious. Highlights of the evening are Alvin Ailey's most famous work, Revelations, a glorious celebration of the rousing gospel and spiritual music Ailey grew up with in 1930s Texas and Love Stories, Judith Jamieson's collaboration with modern dance maverick Robert Battle and hip hop pioneer Rennie Harris set to a Stevie Wonder soundtrack.
