Performer: Alvin Ailey

Alvin Ailey American Dancer Theater is in magnificent form for its New York City Center season. Never overselling, simply moving magically.

There is no modern dance troupe as likeable as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Their dancers are warm, exciting and beautiful to watch and they never fail to please audiences.

A superb, though brief, performance by the Ailey II troupe, puzzlingly marooned in a theater away from a fabulous collection of art that situates Alvin Ailey in the American cultural landscape.
