Happy Black History Month
Alvin Ailey: American Dance Theater
Alvin Ailey was an African American choreographer and activist. He founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York in 1958. He got a lot of his inspiration from the Black church services that he attended. He was really inspired after seeing the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo performance and decided that he wanted to pursue dance. He received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1988 and died the following year in New York of AIDS.
His most famous dance is Revelations!!
