Today, we took our upper level dancers downtown to the beautiful Martin Woldson Theatre to see "Ailey II", the touring company for Alvin Ailey's Dance Theatre. We try to expose our dancers to as many different styles of dance as possible, and Ailey's performance in Spokane allowed them to see some wonderful choreography, performed by a group of very powerful and explosive dancers. What a treat!

Alvin Ailey this weekend, in downtown Spokane!



We, along with our upper level dancers, are taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity this weekend, to see "Ailey II", the touring company of New York City's Alvin Ailey's Incredible Dance Theatre. Among the modern pieces selected for Sunday's performance will be "Revelations", an Ailey signature piece that is bound to fascinate any dance enthusiast.

Tickets are available by calling Ticketswest at 325-SEAT, or going to www.ticketswest.com.

For those whom have never seen Ailey, his style is ballet based, integrated with modern dance, and uniquely innovative body movement. It is a style that can be enjoyed by those who enjoy classical dance, and because of Ailey's creativity, by many who don't. We hope that you join us this weekend for this enciting Spokane performance!
