I don't think hardly anyone understands the kind of work it takes achieve this level of artistic and athletic perfection. These men would put any proffesional ballplayer to shame!
There will never be such a thing as seeing this too many times. Never. Oh, Clifton Brown how I miss your dancing! You are simply stunning. You always took my breath away when you performed. Alvin Ailey + Clifton Brown + Sinner Man = Perfection.
Ironically that you would mention that.... Out of the three (in my opinion)I was mostly impressed with Clifton. This brother GOT IT! Although I wish all three SUCCESS!
Little did I know while watching one of my favorite shows So you think you can dance and seeing this performance, that I would move to NYC seven years later and watch that performance live seven times!!! How awesome is that?!?!
That was really amazing. So much grace from which exudes masculinity. It's a nice contrast. Being half naked in the body adds a charge. This is really nice piece of art.
I liked the first version but this one is WOOOOOW!!!!! Watching this one for the 100th time and still so impressive. In my opinion the best peace ever by Alvin Ailey!
This never gets old to watch, just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing, and just a note that this was actually season 4 of the show (Top 12 Results show).
Thanks for posting this! It never fails to uplift me to the place I cheer out loud. The music is so powerful and uplifting. 3 absolutely perfect dancers with individual personalities that leave me breathless. Starting with amazing Jamar Roberts who is so rare for his incredible, stunning 6'5" physique in the dance world that doesn't dominate just by size- he actually does everything right- reaches, melts, extends, he is flexible and looks great filled up... his contraction is THE ultimate contraction that leaves me speechless. He is a good story teller, too and I love his choreography. His effortless, manly execution of movement and his proportions exuding earthy celebration of life- just stunning range. I just went to see Alvin Ailey in Costa Mesa and Mr Roberts' performance left me speechless along with just plain perfect ,beautiful Mr Rushing, manly Mr Sims and his heavenly fantastic Mrs Sims and great raw spirit dancers of current Alvin Ailey troupe. Then, the other worldly Clifton Brown with his gymnast ability to hover in a jump, reach and melt longest and swiftly catch up. He is just plain perfection of quiet and seamless movement and turns that stay up into stillness and then he just steps out ...Wow. I miss Mr Brown. And Kirven Boyd! how agile, quick and stable and charming. In this piece, his agility was throwing sparks. I always love watching him.
andrea debonair Freeorbit Kirven is epic. I had the great gift to be accompanist to his modern class for a semester and it was brilliant. Super cool to see him perform in this fabulous piece!
Yo baile danza clásica y mi hermano contemporaneo el estudio en la escuela de Alvin Ailey yo en school of American ballet. Siempre quise bailar clásico, pero hubiera vendido mi alma al diablo por bailar esta pieza una vez en mi vida. Al verlos se me caen las lágrimas de emoción.
I just showed my friend this ( who is not a Horton dancer ) and she said “ this is not cool he is just flailing his arms across the floor “ I was appalled

No matter how many times I watch this piece it never fails to move me.

Revelations is a revelation. One of the best pieces of dance to ever exist in the history of the human race.
The whole 30+ minutes choreographed perfection.
To this day, this remains, one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Chills. Just awe, and adoration.
There will never be such a thing as seeing this too many times. Never. Oh, Clifton Brown how I miss your dancing! You are simply stunning. You always took my breath away when you performed. Alvin Ailey + Clifton Brown + Sinner Man = Perfection.
