Last Night's Alvin Ailey Performance at Kennedy Center

I saw Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater last night at the Kennedy Center. I got lucky and had front row seats. The dancing was wonderful. Alvin Ailey is performing through Sunday, but tickets are only available for tonight and Thursday - the other shows are sold out.

It was great to see Alvin Ailey's classic "Revelations" from 1960 that closed the performance and continued after a standing ovation. Works performed included: "Shining Star" (David Parsons), "Solo" (Hans van Manen), "Reminiscin'" (Judith Jamison) and "Revelations" (Alvin Ailey).
