Today brought a close to our ArtSummer 2015 week 2. This week has been filled with rehearsals, improvements, and incredible growth. We started our day off with a warm up, our quote of the day, and our choreographer of the day.
Mr. Alvin Ailey was today's choreographer of the day. Ailey is credited with popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing African-American participation in 20th-century concert dance. He founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York City in the late 1950's and began creating his famous works. Ailey's signature work is "Revelations" which is based around blues, spirituals, and gospels. Ailey passed away in 1989 but his company, famous works, and legacy live on.
After our choreographer of the day, we rehearsed our jazz dance, continued learning our contemporary dance, and starting piecing together parts of the collaboration piece.
We ended our ArtSummer week 2 on an awesome note and are excited to wrap up our lessons and put the finishing touches on our dances next week. We hope everyone has a great weekend and we can't wait to see everyone Monday!
Remember to practice, practice, practice this weekend!
