"That was not an earth tremor you felt Saturday evening; it was the endless energy of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater rocking the stage of the Gaillard Auditorium."-Post and Courier What more can be said about one of the best dance companies in the world? That the dancers seem to have descended from a celestial universe of phenomenal physicality and power? That the company is considered America’s cultural ambassador to the world? That no matter how often one has seen Revelations, it still brings everyone to their feet? The above is all true and more so. This revered company marked its 50th anniversary of bringing African-American cultural expression and the American modern dance tradition to the world’s stages at the 2009 Spoleto Festival USA.Sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.
Additional support for the 2009 Carolina First Dance Series is provided by the Harkness Foundation for Dance.
