I love watching older footage of this company. Do you have any more?

[DuncanzibarNo2]

Sorry no. We hardly get any dance aired on national television anymore here in the uk. It's all about mindless vacuous nonsense these days.

the dancers' body is a musical instrument, and these dancers are like the Stratavarius violin or cello. . . Bravo!

Excellent choreography!! But what's up with the eye in the triangle at 3:28??? Hmmmmm

Ulysses Dove's work is like prayer in motion. I love how he explained his creative process how the piece is developed from a childhood memory of his grandmother. He's an awesome choreographer.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is the Best Company in the world. No other company gives me goosebumps or makes me cry or makes me want to get up and dance! Amazing.
