Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Posted by Hello

Cameron and I had a rare chance to see this group come through Singapore on tour last night. According to his birthmother, Alvin Ailey is Cameron's great-grand-uncle. Cam wore his suit on this date with mom and he was pretty impressed by how strong the men were! I was especially moved by the last section REVELATIONS, a selection of pieces danced to traditional spirituals. One duet called "FIX ME JESUS" was breathtaking and deeply moving. Three of the 4 segments for the evening we went were choreographed by Alvin Ailey. God is good to lead us to going last night, as the other 2 performances only had 1 segment of Ailey choreography.
