You'll have an opportunity to learn iconic choreography from an American masterpiece when teaching artists from the Ailey organization share the power and joy of Revelations in four free events across Boston, March 22 & 23.
Learn gestures, movements, and adapted steps from the dance that means so much to generations of audience members.
You won't need any special equipment, just a willingness to try something new: these workshops are for everyone!
The approximate running time for each event will be two hours, including a get-together with refreshments to follow.
Choose your preferred event below and let us know that you're interested by signing up!
Your RSVP doesn't guarantee admission (events are first-come, first-served), but we'll send you reminders and event updates.
Sign-up will also be available on site.
These events will take place on sport courts and similar hardwood surfaces, so please plan to change out of your outdoor shoes if they are salty, sandy, or wet.
Wear what makes you comfortable for a range of movement. Dancewear and dance shoes are not required at all!
Space is limited in some locations, but we'll have coatracks and tables available for your belongings. Chez-Vous has 60 coin-operated lockers for $1.50 (6 quarters only).
