New Twists At Alvin Ailey

I don't know how many people have gotten the chance to watch the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater but they are amazing.  The company just recently added on to their repertoire.  They now have some hip-hop flair in there too.  They have chosen to include works by Harris, Naharin, and Taylor.  Harris, a renound pop and locker, was invited to create "Home" about the AIDS crisis for the company's new season.  Taylor's "Arden's Court" will be added to showcase the company's men and they will also premiere "Minus 16" by Israeli dance maker Naharin. This season is also marked by the introduction of a new artistic director Robert Battle.  He has chosen to honor the past, the present and the future this season.
