Ailey

Although I only stayed for the first piece on the program, it was enough to illustrate the awesome talents of the Ailey dancers. Moreover, the piece, "Love Stories," which ostensibly depicts the history of the company, has a particularly cool section choreographed by Philly native Rennie Harris. The hip-hop and break dancing is quite a bit removed from the typical Ailey vernacular, and they cut loose. It's an awesome, spine tingling combination of moves and performance that is universally accessible--the crowd went wild!
