    This is so much better than an aerobics video. I’m not a dancer but please keep posting these. It helps me express and feel in isolation 💗🙏🏻

    I'm ready to become an Alvin Ailey dancer. No more sitting in the audience for me; I'm ready to take that stage! I want to give multiple encores of this performance as the audience stand on their feet with applause not wanting the show to end. Where's my gold vest?

    I've waited 40 years to learn these moves. Thanks for getting an old lady and wannabe dancer off the quarantine couch. I'm stiff and it hurt but it felt good. Love y'all!

    Thank you so much Hope Boykin! Your 20 year dedication to the Alvin Ailey dance theater shines through with each bit of your body movements. Thank you for sharing your craft and allowing us as an unforgettable participatory experience as it was to be an audience member seeing the performance. Thanks AGAIN!

    Thank you so much, Hope! My parents first took me to see Revelations when I was a child growing up in Chicago. I have carried out the tradition with my boys (who attend you alma mater). We were so proud and overjoyed when we came to see you and the AA troupe at UNC’s Memorial Hall in February. Bravo!

    Thank you all for Revelations and for Lazarus. I first saw Revelations as a teenager in the early 80s and Lazarus last year in Boston. Tonight I introduced my daughter to it. Doing this little workshop today was so much fun.

    This is brilliant!! I love teaching students about the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, especially Revelations and Cry. I saw the company in Adelaide South Australia, when my mother took me; Divining, Cry, Revelations and the Stack Up. It was one of the most inspiring dance performances I have seen. The energy, the emotion and the sense of purpose that emulated from those dancers was something you never forget. This video is a wonderful way to teach Dance History. For students to learn the repertory from the experts.... what an opportunity. I can not thank you enough for sharing this.

    Thank you so much for sharing. My heart is warmed by this tribute and sharing of Mr. Aileys legacy. I have watched YOU, Clifton, Dwana, Linda, Glenn, and others perform, take class at the Ailey school, or give master classes when I visited the East Coast for YEARS... And I was honored to take class with Mr. Meyers in Canada. The Alvin Ailey dance company was and still is an amazing inspiration for me. Some years I would see all three shows in Seattle. You showed me what was possible for a dancer who was willing to work. I first saw the Ailey Company live in my late 20s, and that night inspired me to immerse myself more in dance, leaving an engineering job to go back to college and earn my dance degree. After dancing for many years and two children, I continue my journey in the arts. I will certainly share this movement with dancers I work with and add my inspiration. This is so wonderful for the company to share the legacy and the movement to the world. We love and thank you. I will also tag a clip of my past choreography to Revelations music. One with the Music. Dance is Life!!!!

    AHHH-MAZING and an honor to welcome you and AAADT into our homes, Hope Boykin!😍🙌🏾Thank you and congratulations to 20 years of bringing the spirit of Alvin Ailey to the world!🎊❣️🎊This was so engaging and reminded me of when I was a young child in the 70s dancing with my shadow at night to Mr. Ailey’s work in my family’s living room. As we are all sheltered in our homes right now, you have unselfishly given us this rare opportunity to dance and learn from the best. Because of you, I’m experiencing that same feeling of when I first fell in love with dance and Ailey!🥰Thank you, thank you, thank you!💃🏾👏🏾#IWillAlwaysLoveAiley #DanceHeals

    That was so much fun, and so beautiful! Whenever I even try to talk about "Revelations," I get tears in my eyes. Thank you, Ms Hope! I also am a Hope, and I have "Hope" signs around. It's so funny to see them in your studio too!

    This is amazing and needed, especially during this time. Revelations in performance and Mr. Ailey's book changed my life. This is the type of soulful movement and music we need instead of swiping our thumbs on nonsense and negativity. Thank you.
