Alvin Ailey and an epiphany

The first time I ever saw an Alvin Ailey dance performance was an epiphany for me.

Definition: "a revelation in the everyday world, where the whatness of a common thing or gesture becomes radiant and deeply comprehended to the observer –either the observer in the text or to the audience."

I was transfixed, amazed at the power and expressive artistry.

Here are some photos that don’t do the troup justice at all.
