Alvin Ailey Dance Company has taken modern dance to a whole new level. The inspirational, colorful, intricate and technically challenging choreography has evolved the art form of modern dance. The annual Celebrity Series performances in Boston always welcome Ailey with open arms.
This year is no different as the performances begin next week running from Thursday April 26 through April 29. The Celebrity Series Web site describes the company as "Rooted in the history of the African-American diaspora, and born of the dreams and vision of its founder, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has shaped itself into an ambassador for American culture. Through epic stories of American struggle, jazz inspired narratives and hip-hop infused portraits, the Ailey company continues to connect generations of audiences."
Each performance features different pieces including Revelations, The River, Sweet Bitter Love, Grace, Portrait of Billie and Pas de Duke. With student rush tickets always available for these shows, I plan on taking a page out of my good friend Ty's book and going to as many shows as my schedule and budget allows.
