Students see Alvin Ailey at OCPAC

Students from all over Orange County, mostly Santa Ana and Costa Mesa are here today to see a master class by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater company and the Orange County Performing Arts Center have come together to give a lot of school children an inside look at the arts.
"Many of our students do not have the opportunity to come out of the community, so events like this are just great for them to come and experience it."
Alvin Ailey started the famed american dance theater company, and when he died in 1989 Judith Jamison took over, this tour is a celebration of her twentieth year.
The dance company promotes the uniqueness of African American culture through dance and is committed to the preservation of that culture to school children across the country.
In addition to the master class that the Alvin Ailey dancers put on today they'll be performing here at the Orange County Performing Arts Center through Sunday.
