Since its premiere in 1960, Alvin Ailey’s Revelations has been a lasting cultural treasure beloved by people from around the world. This enduring classic is a tribute to that tradition, born out of the choreographer’s “blood memories” of his childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church. Revelations is performed continuously around the globe, transcending barriers of faith and nationality and appealing to universal emotions, making it one of the most recognized ballets in the world.
The masterclass will begin with a brief warm-up rooted in Lester Horton technique and will move quickly into repertoire from Alvin Ailey’s Revelations. This class is designed for dancers high school–aged and older with intermediate/advanced training who are comfortable learning movement at a dynamic, energetic pace. Participants should have prior experience with modern dance technique and be prepared for physically demanding choreography that emphasizes musicality, expressiveness, and strong technical foundations.
