Performing Arts: Dance Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

  • Alvinailey_revelations_large

Master choreographer Alvin Ailey and his diverse, fiercely athletic dance company have come to define their own school of movement — incorporating elements of jazz, West African dance, samba, and hip-hop into classical ballet to create an entirely new style. Although Ailey died nearly 20 years ago, his troupe continues to thrive in its New York headquarters, creating new programs to perform around the world. The company's annual residency with Cal Performances includes the West Coast premieres of Firebird and The Road of the Phoebe Snow, as well as a new interpretation of Ailey's stunning, signature Revelations.
