Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Rennie Harris

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.

A travers des programmes « découverte » mêlant les classiques de la danse contemporaine afro-américaine à des œuvres et des styles de danses plus récents (hip-hop), l'Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater a réussi le pari de remplir et faire vibrer la Seine Musicale, le nouvel espace culturel parisien.

A l’occasion de la 13° édition des Etés de la Danse, l'Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater prend ses quartiers à la Seine Musicale.

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.

Celebrity Series of Boston presents Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater every spring, just as the city starts to pop open and come alive. Like the host city, the company is full of life. And like Boston Public Garden down the street, the thrill is in the feeling of power underscoring what we see on the surface.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater opened its 2011 season, Robert Battle’s first as Artistic Director, at New York City Center. But while the company has a loyal following, with this strong support comes astronomically high expectations. Thursday night the Ailey company more than earned that respect.Battle is the third person in the company’s history to be named Artistic Director.
