The Alvin Ailey experience

Published April 26, 2019

The famed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater company led a four-day arts education program for students and teachers at the Henderson-Hopkins school in East Baltimore this week. Alvin Ailey's Revelations program features workshops that combine movement, language arts, social studies, and its namesake choreographed dance—considered Ailey's signature piece—as a springboard for lessons.
