Ailey In Africa Part One: Outreach

As cultural ambassadors to the world, the Ailey company does more than perform on global stages, we go out in to communities to bring dance back to the people.

The one thing that no one has said to date, to my knowledge about Alvin Ailey creating "Revelation" is how it completely expresses and exposes the truthful reality of it conveying the life and struggles of the children of Israel. This work is the classic that it is because it is touched and inspired by The Creator The Most High Himself! At the time He used, Mr. Ailey as His instrument to reveal His message Mr. Ailey was in full compliance with His will and therefore what we see in Revelation is the hand of The Almighty at work. Halleluyah!
