L’Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater fait vibrer la Seine Musicale

Rennie Harris' theatrical works of street dance have toured the globe. In American Street Dancer he focuses on the preservation of three distinct styles closer to home. 

Classic Paul Taylor and a Rennie Harris tour de force form the highlights of Dayton Contemporary Dance Company's visit to New York this week. 

The enduring legacy of Alvin Ailey is celebrated in this first programme of his company's return to the UK.

Intricate hip-hop, sinuous African, lyrical ballet and glorious gospel held together with powerful contemporary technique: you are hit by huge waves of happiness and end the show smiling.

New York City Center's 11th annual Fall for Dance Festival's program four reaches out to new audiences with a unique program. 

I should start this review by being honest and explaining that I was not initially excited to see Ailey at City Center. I was prepared to be impressed by the company’s physical aesthetic and not much else – I often think of the company as finely-tuned robots who are capable of demonstrating technical virtuosity but not of moving me in a big way, emotionally.
