Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Really is a Revelation
Ballet is considered the pinnacle of dance. Ailey is at that level in every dimension, just in Modern Dance. It is one of NYC’s big three dance companies with City Ballet and ABT.
Alvin Ailey’s “Revelations” (1960) is the Company’s signature masterpiece. It’s a reflection of Ailey’s childhood memories of attending Mount Olive Baptist Church near Fort Worth, Texas. The piece eloquently expresses that life is a mix of joy and pain, but always tempered with HOPE.
The Company got its start on the stages of the 92nd Street Y in 1958.
