Ailey 2 at King's Theatre, Glasgow (UK Tour)
By Laura Pearson
Ailey 2, the youth company of the renowned Alvin Ailey American
Dance Theater are currently across the pond, and touring UK
theatres.
The 12 dancers in the team will entertain you with diverse and athletic dance routines to scores such as gospel blues from the American South. Each routine tells a story with historical and spiritual influences.
The costumes and lighting are delicate and enhance the 'other-worldly' performances. Each show is comprised of different routines, each with their own designers; but they link perfectly.
The performances are slick, and well choreographed under the guidance of 70 year old Artistic Director Sylvia Waters, who herself was once a member of the company.
It is a relaxing and captivating evening's viewing; and Ailey 2 will no doubt continue their success in the US by garnering new fans here in Britain. It is only the second time in 40 years that the youth division have visited the UK, so take this chance to see them in action.
