Work: Dancing Spirit

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater proves its versatility in this Sadler's Wells programme, confirming its place as one of the world's greatest dance companies.

It's got a lot of appeal, with a diverse range of choreography, and offering audiences the chance to see excellent dancing and even some partnerships forming from different companies.

With choreographers like Ronald K. Brown and Kyle Abraham working with the company, the repertory might finally match the talents of the dancers.
