Alvin Ailey on So you think you can dance

[@aliveandconnected]

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.

[@trinibwoy27]

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

[@gabriellenarvaez3574]

trinibwoy27 she is m second cousin (dads cousin). She IS such a inspiration. Yeah it doesn’t look like it cause I’m HALF Puerto Rican soo.

[@DancingDeity]

[@SpecialK771]

They are such graceful artists..

[@freeorbit1618]

Such a smooth and clean performance! Amazing!

[@PLENVMMVSIK]

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.

[@adasera2]

ALVIN AILEY I LOVE YOU!!!!!THE BEST DANCE COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@askatticus]

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. :)

[@Jayjen35]

@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!

[@SherrySilverW]

very interesting choreography

[@LeonoreChrista]

Need it for a dance please

[@29psalm]

[@songsmirth5316]

[@bigsneakertees]

Amazing dance and the workouts must be grueling .

[@soulgirl3000]

Are you crazy? The man moves like water.

[@jarhead242able]

3 words FAN - TAZ - TIC from unka bill&pat

[@brwneyesaz]

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.

[@Jayjen35]

Isn't this a piece choreographed by Ulysses Dove?

[@chisar1]

Extremly....

[@Haoran75]

ça, c'est danser. I mean : really !

[@DancingDarling17]

@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

[@MarqueeTee]

yes, grueling, I can speak fro experience having trained at Ailey school (horton technique). it looks easy and simple but trust me it's not!

[@emmanuellalangley4471]

EXQUISITE.

[@allthatrouble]

@ninamandic10 Then I would LOVE to see you even remotely TRY to acheive the level of prefection he has! HA!

[@groovakos]

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.

[@ninamandic10]

@allthatrouble lmfao its really not that great.

[@ninamandic10]

hes not even that good....

[@Jolene8]

Amazing!
