The Alvin Ailey Performance

 

 

                   Alvin Ailey was born and raised in Rogers, Texas. Alvin Ailey was born on January 5, 1931. He died in 1989. Alvin Ailey s child was pretty harsh since he was an African American boy in the Racist south. Life for him was tough because in the 30s African Americans were being lynched and murdered by Klu Klux Klan.

                  In 1960 the famous Revelations came to be. Alvin Ailey choreographed the whole thing himself. Revelations is a mix between African American Gospel singing and church services like being baptized was Take Me to the Water. The songs were Pilgrim of Sorrow, Take Me to the Water, Move members Move, and Sinner Men. My favorite dance in Revelations was Take Me to the Water. Take Me to the Water was my favorite because I liked the choreography and the music equally because the dance and song were balanced with each other. 

      

       Some of you may think that grown males doing ballet is girly or weird but they are very strong and probably can beat you up in 5 seconds flat.I mean i do martial arts and I tried doing a  leg lift and I fell because my butt hurt so bad the male dancers did it with ease so that prove how strong they are.
