I always, ALWAYS look forward to this time of year when I can see Alvin Ailey in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. The performers are so athletic and powerful. They stir my soul. But Alvin Ailey is not just another dance company. Sure these dancers are some of the best performers in the business but it is more than that. These dances will move you. They will elicit emotions you didn’t think you’d feel. There really is no better option for a romantic Valentine’s Day option than seeing Alvin Ailey in Atlanta. And I’ve got two tickets so one lucky reader can attend this event for free!
Read about last year’s phenomenal engagement so you can know how wonderful this will be.
Atlanta audiences will be able to enjoy a wide range of choreographic masterpieces that give Ailey’s extraordinary dancers even more ways to inspire. The Valentine’s Day program includes the following.
