One of my favorite Black spirituals, perfect for "homegoing" and memorial services. Lovely harmony by the choir--but why aren't the folks clapping from the very beginning? I love the choreography and the flowing white garments--nothing like the saints of God praising Him with everything they've got! No, they don't need palazzos--the costumes are very modest and permit full movement--and there are tights covering the legs. "Praise Him with timbrels and dancing!" Psalm 150:4

You are not allowed to do choreography that is copyrighted.....you can get sued for piracy. You need to get permission from the choreographer to do this. This is not to discourage you, but to inform you of the way the Dance World works.
Copyrighted material does need permission from the owner. In this case, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater owns the rights to the piece "Revelations". However, the dance being demonstrated in this video clip was inspired by the original piece. Besides, they are not using any of the the props or costumes and the dance steps are not the same as what Mr. Ailey choreographed.
This was a wonderful performance. This actually did justice to Alvin Ailey. You have to be careful when taking on one if his performances...at my church, we're actually doing a rendition of "I've Been 'Buked". I'll be sure to post! Deidre, I don't know you, but keep up the great work! Dancers, keep it up!
Where is this church located?

Ok nice dance but they needed to have on palazzo pants up under the dress.

@TARSHANLC They were modestly dressed. Palazzo pants beneath those long robes would have bunched up and hampered their movement.

@CriticalListener They were not modest at all the dress are cute still needed the pants.

@Shawty6506 Thanks for commenting. That acronym is inappropriate for a 10 year-old and a Christian song. Please think about what you post online.
