Exclusively at Alvin Ailey

On a sultry summer evening in June, the Company held a private showing at Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. With anxiety chilling down the spine, Elisa Monte dancers stretched for their performances. Soon the audience members arrived at the studios with eager faces; anxious to see Elisa Monte’s repertory pieces up close.
