on a low stage, three dance teachers demonstrate the finale of Ailey's Revelations: flanking a central figure who faces away, her arms lifted, a male and female dancer face us, leaning back while kneeling, their arms raised joyfully

Learn iconic movements from Revelations

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.
