This weekend I had the opportunity to see the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater perform in Central Park. They were magnificent. It was a 1920's themed performance. The women wore fringed dresses, and feathered boas. The men wore suspenders, wife beaters, and business pants.A live band performed behind the dancers. They played a variety of bluesy tunes. Even in the 90 degree heat and humidity the dancers were enthusiastic and on point. Despite the fact that the crowd was chased out at intermission for a thunder and lightening storm, it was a great performance. And the SummerStage arena was packed full. Clearly they were a popular act. I hope to see them again soon in the future.
