[@turaboi82]

Wow very inspirational, great work. Thanks for sharing! God bless you for sharing this message and letting God use you and your talents, great job.

[@sheldonbmoffatt6498]

My husband never liked dance and I finally got him to go with me to see this a Sadler's Wells some years ago and he absolutely loved it. He is now a fan of dance.

[@annetterogers2475]

Awesome dancers.❤😅

[@jurgennaeve3897]

saw this many years ago for the first time and watch it twice a year because it is breathtaking beautiful!

[@calebc.4343]

Pray for my church’s tiny dance team as we do these songs choreographed inspirationally by A.A., such a great guy 🤗

[@Stellamarie123]

One of the most amazing contemporary companies on the planet. Changed my life seeing them a few years ago

[@BryantJohnsonsimbalion45]

I went to see Alvin Ailey in 1986 with the Andrew Jackson H.S. Dance Club of which I was a part. To this day....this performance and the Songs still rings in my head! ALVIN AILEY...A COMPLETE GENIUS!!

[@narviawilliams2340]

IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO PRAISE AND GLORIFY THE HEAVENLY FATHER 🔱 AND HIS SON, CHRIST JESUS 👑, WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! !!

[@joylustig]

Just had the immense privilege of watching this piece performed at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, NY. AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@joybird144]

This is the most powerful form of art

[@lisagojcaj9622]

These people are the best ever and this company rocks I did wade in the water for my class talent show because of my deep care. I would sacrifice my life to save this company and whoever uploaded this is an angel

[@gillfrancis748]

Saw this today at Sadlers Wells Theatre London. The most overwhelming beautiful thing I've witnessed

[@RS-be7iy]

Wow. The whole thing, even if edited from different performances. Thank you, Rhys Connolly. Saw this every year from 1972 to 1994...entered into sacred space each time. Mesmerized. Love Ailey. What a vision, and for African American dancers, glory, inclusive of all, too. Love Ailey. Love New York City.

[@torred5104]

I just watched a special about The Company on PBS. As always, Revelations was great. I've seen the production in person three times and there's nothing like it. GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY!

[@lunatuna9083]

To have such pliable form.. to twist with the whirlwind... to spin like the cosmos...

[@danas881]

Amazing!

[@lorettabisin5624]

Bellissimo ... grazie Fede per avermi fatto conoscere questo pezzo

[@sherrisolomon8673]

Awesomely Beautiful!

[@RS-be7iy]

I'm watching every second of this recording. I can't understand thumbs down (quality? we're lucky to have this; technique? one has to understand that Ailey incorporates all, heavy ballet, not so heavy ballet but great talent in other techniques). The audiences yell and scream with delight at Revelations' performances. Every one should travel to an Ailey performance. I don't know where this one is being staged, but thank you.

[@microlover]

Es una deliciosa pieza coreográfica basada en uno de los libros de la biblia. Sin embargo la profundidad espiritual es cuantiosa, tuve la oportunidad de ver la pieza en vivo en Chicago y todos en el público estábamos perplejos. Recoge la idiosincrasia protestante del sur elevada a lo máximo por este gran hombre.

[@dreka.da_doll6523]

I just went to see this at the Fox Theatre

[@phylliswashington4573]

Why are their no full black stage productions?? Only a few minutes of a scene. I grew up going to the theatre, and I want to see them on KZbin. I have been looking for Pearl Bailey in Hello Dolly?????

[@junessekenwoodly9990]

I really enjoyed watching them wish it was me my name is Junesse Marcella Blake Washington

[@mafiamoscoloni2332]

Por qué mi mente te fusionó con Albinoni??

[@jenni-leafinch3671]

[@ALnaturAL32]

Jenni-Lea Finch rocka my soul

[@rantybaby1327]

Do you have "Cry" in its entirety? Danced by Ms.Jamison?

[@CGMaat]

Please dance at the circle maple memorial at battery park on labour day; for all our front line workers and all who lost their lives ( 600,000) Also to honor Juneteenth , please . Best dance company in New York as the russian ballet is to russia. YES WE HAVE BEEN BUKED BY trump!

Which performance is this from?

[@rantybaby1327]

Was the music updated from Bro John Sellers? I think I heard Tramaine Hawkins?

[@rhysconnollydance]

ranty baby I'm not sure; The music I used is off of the Revelations soundtrack :) The music credits are on the AAADT website :)

[@rantybaby1327]

[@socialchameleon8065]

+ranty baby (rantybaby) yes you did with Billy Porter....the choir I'm not that sure of.

[@adrianatherton1693]

What year was this performed? Struggling to recognize the dancers

[@rhysconnollydance]

Adrian Atherton it's a combination of different clips; I thought it would be nice to have a full version of the piece available so I edited old clips and new clips together :)

[@ShowgirlMBruckner]

Merce Cunningham

[@BBM-y6c]

Sorry if no ones agrees, but something seems a bit lost when all the dancers are not black dancing out of their personal pain...something seems lost...smh!

[@alaricblair3264]

not a fan of the edits from the older companies and I don't necessarily like the new music--though I am an enormous fan of T.Hawkins. It looked a little "bootleggish" at the very beginning--which turned me off a little.

[@Ofa337]

The beginning was footage of someone filming on a phone from the audience. The music in Revelations is Forever Beautiful.
